Okay here is something I hate to admit, yet I’m doing it with a smile at the moment: I seem to forget a lot of stuff these days.
I have 5 versions of Davina’s Magical Radio (master copy, print copy, 1 copy for each of the 3 major ebook-readers), so when I spot a formatting or grammatical error in one, I have to change it in every version. Yet, here I am, a month of solid work on finding even the smallest errors (especially formatting), and I keep finding things that I know, or think I know, I’ve corrected before. Often I will spot something wrong in one version, but when I check the others I’ve already fixed it there.
Most of the time I have every version open at the same time, and when I’m making an adjustment I go down the line and fix every version, so I have no idea how this keeps happening, other than I must simply forget what I’m doing right in the middle of doing it. I hate to think that’s correct. My family will have a field day because now when I make a comment about something I think should have been taken care of, they can say I never told them, or I forgot to tell them — a little mean on their part, but they may zone me out because I repeat myself, forgetting I’ve already said something.
Wow, all that is confusing. I mean, I don’t have Alzheimer’s (thank Goodness), but for a guy who used to have an exception memory (one of the things I privately was very proud of), I now seem to be habitually forgetting things.
By the way, I haven’t posted about this already have I? — ha, ha.
Apparently I've been forgetting to blog lately too. But I've been assembling some Indie publishing notes these last few weeks, so I'll try to get some of those up soon. I hope they help those of you who've been asking about publishing your own stuff.
For those of you who keep asking...that sounds like me! Don't pressure yourself or anything at all on my account!
ReplyDeleteShaynie I'm always happy to help! I'm kinda sad that my blog isn't getting more of a following yet, but I get a lot of Facebook comments and have a number of people who e-mail me about publishing. I need a way to get everyone in one spot lol.
