My perfectionist eye cringes when I see typos in my work or other people's work, but my yogi eye allows things to be as they are. I no longer lose sleep over typos (but I used to!). Everything is fixable, and some things are perfectly fine as they are. Perfectly imperfect. 🤘
It gives the most unnecessary edits! It almost made me question my knowledge of English before I realised I don’t have to give my power to a fucking robot!
I would say, authors should have editors. Now we have tons of tools that can fix typos and improve flow. It’s way easier to be a writer. Someone who makes typos in the title and subtitle methodically (I know you did it on purpose now) would not be taken seriously. I wouldn’t expect readers to follow such a writer, maybe in some parallel universe. Remember, words can kill, so some writers may be as fatal as surgeons. Typos will pop here and there, sure. Like I read a paper book and see some, but I am in the middle of the book and I already like it, if I spot in info, no way I would read it. Same with books on Amazon, now everyone seems can re print and sell books: bad fonts, alignment, no, I send book back. It is against humanity selling such stuff for fellow human. People spend their time reading. At least if a reader pays for the content, he or she should expect edited content, free of basic typos.
For example, this particular comment of mine wasn't worth the time writing and fixing typos in, because I think it's obvious. So, sorry for the time you spent on it. I hope anyone reading it will drop it in the middle if they feel it's obvious. I might have a typo or two to make it even easier to drop. 😊
Substack helped me to let go of a lot of pressures. I catch my typos after I've already pressed send. Lol. Ya'll gon get this imperfect work. I care, just not too much. I give it a once over before I press send and that's it.
But it’s a necessary ‘evil’, especially because I think up the words faster than I write. And most of the time, there’s a gap I need to fill after my brain has emptied itself.
Thank you for the reminder we're human. I promise the errors aren't there until after I hit publish. I used to be embarrassed and now I fix it and move on. Shit happens lol
I prefer to act like I have a partial memory loss when it comes to all my errors when writing. I've found I write the most interesting drafts this way, after which I can now hyper fixate on how to fix my errors. But I'm glad we're all fighting this battle against errors in writing.
I’m a firm believer that hitting the publish button introduces grammar mistakes that were not there previously .
At least that’s what I tell myself 😄
exactly! somehow they show up after we hit it 😂😂
😀😀😀😀
Brilliant! Whenever I make mistakes I tell myself, “the errors mean I’m passionate!!!”
“the errors mean i’m passionate” 🔥🔥🔥
I love that, " the errors means I'm passionate"

“perfectly imperfect” 🫶🏽🫶🏽
This is so real!
Less grammar, more human.
I agree with you 😂
Grammarly is the worst. But yes to human errors 😇
grammarly is the worst? why? 😂
It gives the most unnecessary edits! It almost made me question my knowledge of English before I realised I don’t have to give my power to a fucking robot!
funny how i’ve not experienced this with grammarly yet but maybe cos i stick to the free version? 😂😂
"Writers learning to say NO to grammarly and say YES to humanly."
Yass!!🦾

this is a beautiful perspective to bring to the table, Sergii.

“y’all gon get this imperfect work”
bring it on! 💃💃
these days when i catch a typo i fight my inner critic not to change it.
Very😩

Pity heard
Love this. Well done.

exactly, Lynelle. I fear one day we’d all wake up and think we’re robots.
