Sigh.
I really thought I'd have the Half-Vampire POD ready for sale this week. Our librarian is pressuring me to release it, as he wants to buy a bunch for contests at school. And I have several people who want to buy them as Christmas presents. Not to mention the fact that my seventh-graders are actually whining about how long it's taking me to get it for sale.
But I keep finding more and more typos. I swear they weren't there before! I think the typo cybergremlins are sneaking in and messing things up for me, not at all unlike the gremlins who attacked aircraft in WWII.
And so I am reading my own book for what must be the tenth time since last June. I'm heartily sick of it by now, so I hope I'm not overlooking things still, or else I'll have to do this yet again and have not just a 3rd proof copy but also a 4th. (Perish the thought!) By sneaking in a little reading time in between grading tons and tons of tests this weekend, I managed to reach chapter 10. I hope to have it finished and to order a proof #3 by next weekend.
Fingers crossed.
Looking for typos is the worst because we never seem to find them when we're looking!
ReplyDeleteKeep at it. It'll be worth it in the end.
