March 2022, Day 8

First of all, ladies, let's celebrate ourselves! Happy International Women's Day!
The rest is routine. ;)

This is the place to tell us about your daily success (or the lack of it)!

May the magic be with us all!

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

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, 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...

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.
