It all contributes to the greater good of publishing our books. <br /><br />Believe it or not, but I can’t help myself to spot and note typos in every book I read. And I find many. Even in bestsellers. Sometimes, especially if the author is someone I know, I send them my list to help improve the copy. :-) <br /><br />Thank you for co-hosting this month!

"The sky is blue today. My head aches. The quick brown fox forgot to jump over the lazy dog. The car that just drove up the street was really loud." Just stream of consciousness with no editing or correcting. Another thing is I do is take a picture and then come home and write about the image.It sort of primes the pumps.

That's how books got word-of-mouth mentions probably since the printing press was used for fiction.<br /><br />J Lenni Dorner (he/him 👨🏽 or 🧑🏽 they/them) ~ Co-host of the #AtoZchallenge, OperationAwesome6 Debut Author Interviewer, Reference& Speculative Fiction AuthorJ Lenni Dornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961335286982498158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481323769336692447.post-65231663145230108082021-05-05T22:11:27.541-04:002021-05-05T22:11:27.541-04:00Good reviews are wonderful.

I'm reminded of the Full House Reviewed blog, where someone working with the blogger always included a full list of corrections in a comment. Like, if that matters to you so much, why wouldn't you send a draft to your apparent partner before the post goes live?Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481323769336692447.post-56733372187663814632021-05-05T20:04:00.374-04:002021-05-05T20:04:00.374-04:00So happy the anthology is finally out!
