O is for "Oh" what a find!

Ok before we get there, my other "O" is for Ok. I seem use this word a lot when I write. I suspect its because in the process of writing I'm actually having a conversation with myself and it may mean that I've come to the end of that dialogue or reached a decision. I don't actually know whether or not it affects anyone (the reader) negatively _ like one of those speed humps or potholes in your reading cruise (Oh how I hate those). You know how you'll be merrily reading along and then there's a word that doesn't look right or a sentence structure that doesn't gel and a couple of pages later it happens again, the irritation is akin to that which you get from nails on a chalkboard. And surprisingly from time to time one will find a published books in this state, how does that happen? I mean I've been heard growling before dropping a book, how could all the checking people not have experienced that?
Anyway back to my word, as I was saying in my mind OK just serves as a continuation of a thought, a link between concepts or even an indication that I've reached a conclusion. Even the replacement I use sometimes (And so) which  often has the correct impact feels lazy writer like. I use ergo too but that has limited use, OK is flexible. Hell OK can be a very well structured sentence on its own.  I'd like to know what you thoughts are on this or if you have a better way of communicating OK's intended use and still have your text maintain its smooth informal tone, without having to use words such as: therefore, thus, in conclusion, consequently, etc.

Now my other "O".  Firstly I think I have found a way of compensating for all the time I "waste" blogging and writing instead of being productive in my business. Thank God for those handy things called husbands, otherwise i'd be on social welfare on account of my obsession. This morning I joined Amazon as an affiliate and came across my next pleasant surprise which elicited the "Oh what a find" statement. Comments from a number of Neil Gaiman featuring posts I've written have brought my attention to the fact that there are far too many people who have either not read or not heard about him. Please read my post on him if this is your current ailment (=, its called: I love Neil Gaiman
Obviously this situation cannot be allowed to continue so I went looking and found that his 10th Anniversary hard-cover addition is now available for pre-ordering @ $17, that's half the price it will be here in SA.....I'm totally stoked as Jo (Storm) Schaffer would say.....Yipeee. I can't wait to lay my hands on my copy. I hope you'll be motivated to order, this is a book for your great great great grand children.
