The other day I read my book aloud. One sitting, front to back, entire book.
And I nearly cried. Not from joy of the accomplishment. Not from the happiness of knowing I had chased and achieved a dream. I cried because of all the errors I found. Some were little things like a small typo or missing punctuation. Others were a bit bigger grammatical issues. And some, well, they were just plain storyline mistakes. After some time, and maybe a bite of humble pie, I realized that I need to take this as a learning experience to help me grow as a writer and editor. It is a bump on the road to chasing dreams and one that I can learn to avoid for the next book. Yes, there is a next book.
