Ouch. Can get Viking to chop it off?
Good good. 40,000+ on first draft of book five.
When I finish that, final edits of book 4 before proofreader.
Still need to design book cover.
Now, if people just bought them 😂

Still, when I spot a typographical error that has somehow made it into print despite copy-editing, typesetting and proofreading, I feel a tiny, rather guilty satisfaction. Hardly an admirable habit, I know. Somewhere, an author, copy-editor, compositor or proofreader has every reason to groan.

Just a quickie* - This is another example of my perrsona reflecting my real life,since I've done some proofreading,although I think I was better at it (but I feel awkward in other areas)
*Although I could have drawn my catboy writing by her side

I'm not saying my own book is error-free, cos that's asking for trouble, but I will say that my editor and the proofreader she hired were both pretty meticulous. (Also, the 2 books these examples are from are with BIG publishers, which I'm not.)

I omit words too, so ok I get it, but I can't look past the bad grammar. Not because my grammar is flawless, but because ANY proofreader, not even an actual editor, would have caught "peeled with copper sticks coming out of it"is ambiguous and confusing and needs to be reworked.

(oh and it is to note that this is the first unedited version, it's not the version where my proofreader has intervened so... There might be some typos here and there 😭)
Hope you enjoy it! 🙏

It must be cool to see it go all the way from prototype to finished product. I've only seen (as a proofreader) a rulebook go from rough collection-of-rules document to full rulebook, but that was still very interesting
