Oh, yikes. How long has this been going on?
Today, after I send out Sharing with Writers, I found a huge booboo in it. It occurred in one of the sections that I repeat weekly. Thus a good lesson: edit the old parts as thoroughly as you do the new ones.
I'm embarrassed but also laughing. So, I'm thinking, anyone who found it could send me a letter with the offending sentence in it and I'll do a drawing among you for a copy of This Is the Place, autographed.
Now, if you send me something that isn't an error, but only a style choice, you get a virtual demerit. LOL.
Send your entry for my booboo contest to hojonews@aol.com. Please but BIG BOOBOO into the subject line. You don't need to send your address. If you win, I'll ask for it.
Your red - faced editor,
Carolyn
