A new mantra

[rflong]

 On printing up the novel and going through it "one last time" to look for typos, grammatical mistakes and mis-used words:



It's better to find them now rather than a week after I have sent it off.
It's better to find them now rather than a week after I have sent it off.
It's better to find them now rather than a week after I have sent it off.
It's better to find them now rather than a week after I have sent it off.
It's better to find them now rather than a week after I have sent it off.
It's better to find them now rather than a week after I have sent it off.
It's better to find them now rather than a week after I have sent it off.
It's better to find them now rather than a week after I have sent it off.

It's going to be a stressful (long) weekend...

Breathe. It's not the end of the world. No one can produce an error-free 300-400-page manuscript...

Oh, yes, what Aliette said *hugs* You're going to do fine! And be good to you, too, when you find them, you're doing a good thing, for sure.

I'm amazed at the people who are hard on themselves when they do find errors, which is what I'm thinking of, which may not apply to you at all.

There is NO fun in doing what you are doing, but good luck with it as it has to be done...
