I just saw that my efforts have been published in the Times of Brunswick, a fine production from the private school in Greenwich. I was very pleased to see my name in print, along with the words I wrote.
What didn't please me was that I saw an error. My error. Something that my eye didn't pick up when I was proofreading.
Damn.
It happens here on the blog also. I can reread something from three, four, five years ago and find a misspelled word, poor (or improper) phrasing and tense, etc. So...damn...frustrating. I expect more from myself.
But to find it in a publication? Grumble.
You can say "what about an editor? Shouldn't they have caught it?" Maybe, but that's not the point. I should have - it's on me.
Damn.
PS, why this is bothering me more than perhaps usual will become clear very soon. Perhaps in the next post...
