T is for Typos

Because, we all have them! I even have a book out, one that I published mind you,
and I'll still find a missing period, or misspelled word, and I cringe to think about all the people that have
read those mistakes! I'm a perfectionist, but not to the point that it had to be so perfect before I put the book out there. If that were the case, I never would've published. I had to let it go, typos and all, and then fix them, once the book was out--once I had many sets of eyes telling me what I missed. Some folks don't like that, but really, I don't mind it at all. I need the help.While I can edit for content, sometimes, I just CAN'T see the formatting, or grammatical or punctuation errors because I'm looking for so many different things.
Again, this is one of the negatives to self-publishing. And also a reason to hire an editor to fix those things
before you put something out there. And sometimes, even that isn't error-proof. I've read many a bestsellers,
with errors. So, it's a lesson learned, with nothing to lose, at this point. There are probably a half a dozen typos in this post as well. We're human, we make errors, and I'm all for doing one's best. Yet, though we need to be polished, sometimes, it doesn't happen perfectly ... and that's okay!
