It just seem so crazy that you can read through things a hundred times and the moment you send it off, it screams back at you ' Hey stupid you didn't see that one...ha, ha.'<br /><br />Good luck with your writing project,Elaine.Paula RChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05550276147711384895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673700697394236559.post-26979422030120132032010-02-10T15:02:35.912+00:002010-02-10T15:02:35.912+00:00Hey hon!

Very much a case of viewing cross-eyed.<br /><br />Hi Bonnie<br />As you can see from the comments it is so easy to get so desperate and determined to do things right one ends up making the most basic of errors.<br />The safety deposit box idea has made me smile repeatedly. I want to leave behind a keyless safety deposit box so anyone who finds it can go through the gamet of emotions!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15459671422564355990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673700697394236559.post-54305299506099436222010-02-09T23:07:46.593+00:002010-02-09T23:07:46.593+00:00"How some mistakes are easy to make and impos..."How some mistakes are easy to make and impossible to put right." Such a great line. <br /><br />And you're right, can't put it right so have move on and learn from it. I'm trying to take your lesson to heart. (PS - Bummer you were so sick, still trying to be productive and bang, that happened.) <br /><br />What would I like to have?<br />I'd like to have $100,000 in a safe deposit box. Not the bank. A box. Why? I have no idea. The thought occurred to me today while driving and it made me smile. At least then, if I never get published or doing anything very "noteworthy," it'll at least be one of those human interest stories about "She wore old shoes and died with 100,000 in a safe deposit box." ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673700697394236559.post-52944204850864182962010-02-09T18:28:00.968+00:002010-02-09T18:28:00.968+00:00Oh, I've made such mistakes before too.

The last time was after an agent actually phoned me because he liked my sample pages so much and wanted to know if I had representation yet and if not, would I send the full? I fired it off immediately, not noticing it was the file of a much earlier version where several characters had different names. I didn't realize my mistake until 5 days later, when I sent the current file. (A no-no) I never heard back from the agent at all. He probably figured I was batshit crazy. Sigh. Moral of our stories: proofread, check everything, and then check again. Speed is not of the essence. Accuracy is.Anne R.
