Mistakes were made. · 9:51am May 26th, 2020
...but I shall focus on just one of mine for today. Namely, an egregious error in No Nose Knows.
From Jake the Army Guy:
Yo, duder!
SO, I'm writing a blog doing mini reviews of the stories I have displayed on my user page. As I copied the description for No Nose Knows, lo and behold my spell check found something!
but while there he quickly and quite accidently invokes a long-forgotten law
Should be "accidentally." Obviously, because I caught this and you didn't, this means that you are a failure as an author and I am superior to you in every way. As you correct this egregious error, feel free to tell everyone about how I single-handedly saved your story.
Can't wait for more Pregnant Nose, brother!
So, time for the confession.
Jake the Army Guy is superior than me in every way. He has single-handedly saved No Nose Knows.
There. Hope you're happy, JtAG.
And now that that's fixed, go check out his blog. His reviews on No Nose and his other favorites are pretty interesting and fun.
Jake is awesome on so many levels.
Everyone makes mistakes, nice to see you are taking it with a grain of salt, please keep up the good work.

Hey, I'd be in a really good place if that was the worst mistake I had made in my writing. :)
But I realize that I make plenty of mistakes, so I figure it's best to acknowledge it, have a laugh about it, fix it, and then move on. No point in being all stressed and uptight about what I do wrong.
My ego: "Yes, yes! I FEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!
I would tell you about the errors that Grammarly has found in my old writings, but I don't want to feel smaller than I already do!
Free proofreading is the best!

I agree with that sentiment.
Ahhh, yes. The dreaded gramitorical error. I've become well acquainted with it in my long nights slaving away to bring my readers their entertainment. For them I only have one question...
Are you not entertained!?
Now on a more serious note you can actually track my writing and how much better it's gotten over the years. Seriously just read my stories and you'll see how much the grammar has improved. People still point out the errors in my oldest works and ask if I'll ever fix them. Sadly I'm far to busy (& kind of lazy) to do anything about it.
Plus they're so old why should I worry about one simple mistake. It's not like that's the first impression I'll ever make and then have my fans thinking that I'm some kind of grammar simpleton I just don't care or that I'm just to lazy and don't care about what others say! It can't possibly be that!!
Anyway awesome post. Glad you were able to fix it because there are some people who just don't have the integrity to do so.
I’ve been thinking about starting this story/series for a few days now, but I’ve been too lazy to go looking through the 1000+ entries on my Read It Later list looking for it, getting distracted by who knows how many other stories. Then this showed up on my feed.
A sign? Eh, I’ll treat it as one.
