Authors cannot properly proofread their own writing.*
It is important to fully buy into that concept before delving into the exceptions and solutions. It maps well to the statement, A lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client. If you're an experienced writer, I should not have to convince you of the truth here. Yes, you can (and should) proof your own writing; you'll catch many of your grammar and spelling mistakes. Many, but not all.
Hello readers! If you’re looking for the usual in-depth post, today it shall not appear. Because today Being a Better Writer is going to be live! That’s right, we’re doing another Live Q&A session at 5 PM MST.
Edit: for those of you reading this from the editorial. The video is from Ckat and is the same as the link to her. The word, however, are the transcript. We both promoted her video and both got on the editorial. Sorry about the duplication.
I recently started a writing focused Youtube channel. Part of this is bringing content from others, and the first video is up. It's about how to deal with a lack of love and recognition for your work.

So first, welcome back readers! I hope you all had a good weekend! Especially with Episode 12 of Fireteam Freelance having dropped on Saturday. Was that a ride or what?
Welcome back writers! As work continues getting Axtara – Magic and Mischief (I still miss Mayhem, but we’ll be getting a BaBW post on that next week) that hasn’t stopped Being a Better Writer from delivering!
For the lack of better words, I decided to start off this year with a list of my least favorite things that happen in television, movies, and books.

Hello readers! Welcome back! How was your weekend? I trust it was enjoyable?
I hope I was able to help with that. Episode two of Fireteam Freelance dropped Saturday morning with a bang! More adventures with Adah, Ursa, Anvil, and Owl!
What do you guys think about working on more than one story at a time? Is it more productive or is it too distracting? Let me know in the comments!
