We're all in good company! <BR/><BR/>No matter how many times we proofread our work, our brain "fixes" the typos (because it's smart and knows how the text is supposed to read) and we skip over typos. In my soon to be released novel, a line of dialogue was suppose to read, "Where would he have ..." I tpyed it "Were would he..." I must have read it a million times, finally caught it in during the final proofreading! <BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for letting MB4 be one of our launch stops. Best of luck with Kindred Spirits!!Marta Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14126647102399666578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001825743960552008.post-55851463213298549482008-10-01T12:01:00.000-04:002008-10-01T12:01:00.000-04:00Things like this happen to the best of us - I thin...Things like this happen to the best of us - I think it is wonderful that you changed these all by hand.

I just wanted to pop in and tell you good luck on your virtual book tour, Marilyn. I haven't had a chance to contact you much, but I see that you're in good hands with Cheryl. She's a pro. And you are a wonderful woman to worry about this.

It will happen to the best of us - and all we can do is dig in and focus the very best we can, whether it's research or typos. But we're all human, and hopefully our readers will accept and forgive.Aaron Paul Lazarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117814221437165664noreply@blogger.com
