I think, when we hit the final editing stages, we try to disconnect from the actual story in order to see these errors, but the story still has a way of sucking you in in places and allowing these little errors to slip by. As you say, occupational hazard :)DRChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03352970077497112668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5996150568062682613.post-32629283462674984792012-03-07T07:24:55.012-08:002012-03-07T07:24:55.012-08:0012??? *hangs head with even more shame...lol12??? *hangs head with even more shame...lolDRChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03352970077497112668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5996150568062682613.post-58390917549430863152012-03-07T07:23:57.454-08:002012-03-07T07:23:57.454-08:00I think it's a great way for those thinking of...I think it's a great way for those thinking of going the self-publishing route.

Sometimes even with several of us reviewing things, we miss stuff. It seems to be a hazard of the publishing trade.
