lagilman: coffee or die (brain.  hurts.)
[personal profile] lagilman
I hate proofreading.  I especially hate proofreading my own proofs.  I've read this book THREE TIMES in post-production!  And I WROTE IT!

This is the only part of being "an author" that I hate.  But even with proofing, errors creep in.  Can you imagine how horrifying it might be if I skipped this stage?

In other news, and almost despite myself, I’ve nailed my Write-a-thon numbers for the day.  Barely.  I’m going to blame the weather, which is warm and sticky and not to my DelicateNorthernFlower self’s liking.

"Normally I’m a mellow kind of guy,” he said conversationally.  “But you came into my bar, and you were a jerk.  You hit a puppy, man.  Seriously?  I’m not even a dog person and that pisses me off.”

Meanwhile, if you need a laugh, check out the product reviews for Mizuno Women’s Wave Rider sneakers.  Yes, those.

YES! THIS! ANd I just posted a very similar whine to my Facebook page. Proofs were invented to torture us.

Proof-reading is an Evil, most definitely.
