Ok, hopefully you know I am being sarcastic.   I couldn’t literally die or else I wouldn’t be posting.  Well, I suppose there could be wifi in heaven- I bet it is dial up in hell. 

I was reading a Sherrilyn Kenyon book.  It is part of the Dark-Hunter series.  The chick was kissing the sexy vampire, as happens quite frequently in her books, and the chick says that her head was literally spinning from the kiss. Literally?  Did the vampire kiss cause her to pull a Linda Blair?  Did the vampire call in the exorcist?  Get thee behind me poor editor!

I had to stop reading.  This isn’t some new author.  She has had quite a few books under her belt.  This is a rookie mistake.  Heck I wouldn’t even make this one, but then it is a pet peeve of mine.

So that leads me to my next thought, what mistakes have I made that drive readers crazy? I already posted about how I lost the short story contest because of editing errors. 

Some of them I can blame on MS WORD because it auto corrected things like capitalizing the word following a quote, when it shouldn’t have corrected them.  I really can’t blame anyone but myself though. 

I have been reading, over and over sometimes, different editor’s blogs and tips.  I am hoping they will sink in and stay inside this hard head of mine.

One thing I do know, the only person who literally had their head spin was in The Exorcist.
