I had occasion to remember today my favorite court case of all time! Bradshaw v. Unity Marine, isn't that compelling a case, basic fight over statute of limitations. It is however, notable for how the judge wrote it. It's a short read, and you don't need a legal background to understand the point the judge is making.

Is anyone getting paper copy to or these days who is not working on-site? Even if for some reason you print it & mail or scan it back, does it _come to you_ as paper or bytes?

Okay writers, is there any better giggle than finding a typo in a published book?

I love it when nobody proofreads and it goes live. This is from Yahoo this morning. Man if it was 2003 what a great moment for do-overs!

No such luck though. Please also consider when shopping at Home De(s)pot you are supporting a right-wing billionaire. If you love your Country shop elsewhere.

Hey , why did you have a needless possessive noun there? "We have the dodo's"? You mean "We have the dodos."

Many of us are guilty of it - not proofreading our own work - but most of us don't own or work for a network. CNN either needs to hire someone to proofread articles both before and after they're uploaded, or beg their staff to do so. Just one example - article on Billie Lourd's tribute to Carrie Fisher (quotation marks are mine): "I’m 2016, Lourd also lost her grandmother Debbie Reynolds (Fisher’s mother), who died of a stroke on Dec. 28, 2016, one day after Fisher’s death."

Now my screenplay for a fourth draft. I'd forgotten how much I hate doing this. As ever, if anyone wishes to it when I'm done, I'd love to hear from you.

A friend I met during my bookselling days hired me to and his series, & he's thanked me on every acknowledgments page. We're on the last one, & it's been a blast!

"A huge thanks to Jennifer Dinsmore. I don’t know how else to sing her praises other than to say that these books would be a lot less readable without her. If they read well, it’s because of her. If you still see a mistake…well, that’s because of me."

When you realise the person doing the RTE NEWS app must have been out on a Sunday night.
