There's An App for That

Here's a tip for the Catholic on-the-go: have you ever felt like you didn't have enough time to go to confession?  Have you ever been too busy to stop by the church on your way home to confess your sins of the day?  Or maybe you just want to confess your wrongdoings from the privacy of your own bathroom stall.  Welp, now there's an app for that!  (disclaimer: I have no idea if you hear back from a priest but I'm pretty sure you can do three Hail Mary's and an Our Father after and be fine.)

Anywho, don't you wish you could just scroll through your million apps on your phone** and find one that edits your book for you?  Press a button and BOOM, all your "was's", adverbs and dialogue tags are changed to something better.  Or say you did your story in one POV but then decide to change it to a different POV.  Find your app, and BAM, it's changed (and everything flows wonderfully).  Or how about you want to get rid of a character?  Find the Killing Your Character app and SHAZAM, your character is dead.  Make sure to choose either the Slow and Agonizing Death or the Quick and Painless Death (only 1.99 each). (I'll clarify by saying I LOVE writing the first draft.  I just wish revising was a little easier!)

What kind of apps do you think they might have in the future?  How about one that turns your lights on and off while you're not home?  Oh wait they already have that.  Or how about one that acts as a tracker on your teen?  Oh wait, they have that too.  What ISN'T there an app for?  I think they need to start working on an app that teleports you from one place to another.  Now THAT would be an awesome app.

**I actually don't have an iphone.  Hubsters does.  Little Monster knows how to use it better than I do.
