I had my week all mapped out, but having so much to do means I just couldn’t keep myself focused enough to get this posted on Wednesday, even though I had the idea for it all written out by Tuesday.
This is actually based on an email conversation I had with a longtime client of mine as we were finalizing his print formatting. I edit, I run software checks, he hires my team for proofreading, he has beta readers squinting for typos, and yet while I was doing the print, I managed to find a missing period and a missing quotation mark.
I have dubbed them “demon typos.” They stay invisible for the entire editorial process, then in the final stages, they appear and eat random tiny things or nudge single letters.
