I Hate Typos

I make my living as a writer, but this does not mean that my written work is flawless. In fact I cringe when I read back and notice mistakes that have been made with posts on this blog. One reader left a comment today mentioning evidence of poor grammar and spelling. I felt so embarrassed. To make matters worse they were referring to one of my more popular posts and it has been there online for almost a year!

All writers make these typos, but they are usually caught in the editing process. The problem for me is that I usually add my posts on here at the end of a long work day. Sometimes I only manage a quick edit before hitting the publish button. I don't see the mistakes because mentally I've already started tucking into my evening meal. It probably sounds like I'm making excuses here, but that's just the way it is. This blog is hugely important to me, but it would probably be fair to say that at times I've been sloppy. I would love to go back over all my posts and check for mistakes, but I just don't have the time.

If any reader does spot a mistake please feel free to tell me. It is not going to crush my self-esteem because I already make my living as a writer – I can't be that bad. It is my job and I want to at least look professional. I just hate the idea of these typos being left as evidence of my sloppiness. I will try to be more careful in the future
