Happy Women's Day everyone!

I have run my two trusty spellcheckers on chapter 4, which I think is gonna be all that I can manage today. I have been dragging myself through the day trying not to fall asleep.

Spell checking is an important part of the process. I still find people who write about horsemen reigning in their horses.

[artemis10002000]

That's true. And after a certain number of rounds of rereading and tweaking, I end up not seeing my own typos anymore. So software helps for sure

Yeah, I know the feeling. You see what you wanted to write, not what you actually ended up to write!

[artemis10002000]

Yeah, exactly. Setting it aside for some weeks does help a little, but considering the basic typos the spellcheck found though I was just editing the other day... It happens.

They say that happens in rl too, if you leave something you meant to put away out long enough it sort of blends in and your eye glazes over it {eg}

With my studies, I always see the typo just after I hit the 'send' button...

[artemis10002000]

Oh yeah, it is even more frustrating with work/school. At least I have no qualms to go and edit typos on AO3 when I find them.

Spellcheck is our friend — even if sometimes a not very bright one, I hate to think what I'd do without it.

[artemis10002000]

Same. Grammarly keeps dissing my writing style (no, I want to keep these emphasis words, they serve a purpose!) and Word spellcheck is comma happy, but I still need them.

I mostly write the wrong real words, which are the worst to catch!

[artemis10002000]

Damn, yes, that makes it far trickier!

Whatever you manage is a good accomplishment, and doubly so on a day you've had to drag yourself through!
