One of my most popular short stories has been published in a book and an anthology and has been read, reviewed, edited and proofed hundreds of times.
There's a missing word in the first paragraph. It's been missing since day one, 20 years ago.
Just noticed today.

994 words ths morning, and I've hit 20K overall. Amost a third of the way there. I'm quite amazed. This is the start of my third week on a real run. And during the night, I had an inspiration for the ending. The #writing experience doesn't get much better than this. #BookSky 📚💙
Another solid week, ending with 1,162 words yesterday and well over 4,000 for the week. Approaching 20K total. Didn't expect to hit this pace till school was back in session. Now believe I can finish a first draft before Christmas.

Re-read my first novel, You Say You Want a Revolution, about a cat plotting to overthrow humankind. I'm shocked to find it's brilliant! I'm stunned I wrote it. What a crafty, artful, imaginative little fellow I am! Pity it's had only forty sales its first year. #writing #BookSky 📚💙🖋️
I've decided to heck with it - I'm not getting rid of my em dashes. I hate the use of AI in writing as much as anyone, but I love the em dash, and even though many consider it an 'AI tell', it gives my fiction a conversational tone that I like. Tana French uses it, so does John Irving. And me. 📚💙
