I got my galleys for Rumble last week and they're due back next Thursday, so I'm spending my Good Friday holiday working on my "other" career choice. I got about a hundred pages in and was starting to worry because I hadn't found anything wrong. Then the writer's paranoia set in and I started to wonder "will they think I'm an idiot with no talent if I can't find a mistake" or "what is they purposefully make an error just to see if I'm good enough to catch it" - anyway, that's why I write with mystery elements. It goes with the personality.
So I am very happy and excited to announce - I FOUND A TYPO!
My conscience is clear. I can now go forward with galley proofing and feel that I am indeed, worthy of a published book.
You know, I never really knew just how strange I was until I started writing. We must all be nuts.

Everyone knows what "they" say about opinions, but we all have one anyway so why not publish it - right? Welcome to my somewhat limited and sarcastic view of the world.
Coming October 30, 2007

Yep - every single last one of us.
I'm an almond - how about you?
LOL!
Happy Galley day!

I'm a cashew, I think. And I'm laughing my ass off at myself at the moment, because I just realize I have a typo in my own blog title - "here" versus "hear"
I could change it, but it's too funny.
Typos are good on galleys, then! *laughs* Good luck with them. An interesting episode I'll have to do one of these days too!
Have a Happy Easter, Jana!!
Typos are good anywhere. You always know a typo vs. illiteracy - and it makes you realize the person posting isn't pretentious - but is, in fact, human!
LMAO!
Ugh, pretentious is a four-letter word for me. I'm anything but. And definitely not perfect (although I'm not telling my husband).
Hi Kelly - yes, you have galleys to look forward to. And Happy Easter to you to!
