I read a lot and even best sellers have errors. We are only human and the publishing process still has human intervention - for now at least!Jenn J McLeodhttp://www.jennjmcleod.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-37307923734635947632013-02-27T18:17:22.979+11:002013-02-27T18:17:22.979+11:00Hello, I did enjoy this.

I think it must be different when you write fiction, can't imagine blogging could seduce you away at all.<br /><br />How I envy your freakishly correct grammar, I seem to leave swathes of errors in my path. And horrors, I've just noticed a mistake in the index of my (tiny) newly published book... oh bloody hell, how did that get there!!??<br /><br />Off to check out your website, Jenn and Helene's too, am an avid fiction reader.Sydney, Kids, Food + Travelhttp://www.seanasmith.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-31739389098668387012013-02-26T08:40:28.923+11:002013-02-26T08:40:28.923+11:00Oh yes Claire.

I particulalry love that meme that does the rounds on Facebook occasionally--the one that shows the six ways people (like parents, freinds, the public) see a writer's life. Love it.
