Write drunk, edit sober is good advice unless one’s drunk writing makes sober editing extremely difficult.
There’s really no point to this post except that I’m having TONS of fun (insert eye roll) finding all of the little mistakes and inconsistencies in my manuscript. I can see the finish line, but there are all these obstacles in the way, such as wayward quotation marks, accidental apostrophes, missing words, and redundant chuckles. She chuckled, he chuckled, they all chuckled. Back to back to back chuckles are annoying.
I shall stay the course, though. Let no chuckle go unnoticed.
Peace, people!
Praying for Eyebrowz 
Lol… Have fun x

I love the word ‘chuckle’ and use it quite frequently. Remember that candy–Chuckles? So good.

Like flattened gum drops. One of those from my younger days. I grew up in NJ so I have to wonder if it was more a regional candy?

Ugh! Editing was the WORST! It is kind of odd to see all your little writing ticks become glaring neon signs. Especially the words you didn’t realize you tend to like to use and repeat. OFTEN!

I’m going totally off topic here….someone needs to do a cartoon with Kamala Harris. (,la) in a VP Cape! She can join Apostrophe Man cause they both go together. LOL! 🙂
