Anything beyond this post are not. <br /><br />I wish I could say I've written an error-free novel, but that would be like claiming I've flown a perfect flight. Should that ever happen in writing or flying, I'll give it up because if can only go downhill from there. <br /><br />It's good to know I'm in good company in the unintentional error department. :)Mark W.

Let me give you my best and worst examples. Worst? I co-wrote Just Write with a friend. It was proof read several times by both of us as well as by two copy editors at the publisher's. My brother thanked me for his copy, said nice things about it, but pointed out 2 typos - one of which involved omitting the word 'not' which, as a consequence, made the sentence say the opposite of what we intended.<br />The best? Well, I was in a hurry to finish a short story and, as I typed 'baked beans' my finger hit the letter to the right of the first b. Luckily I spotted that one.Bill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07675643113010061969noreply@blogger.com
