It's early yet, but I might as well post what I think will happen today. I figure I'll be dealing with life for the most part today, but plan on trying to make some of the day turn to writing. I didn't get any writing done yesterday, as I didn't feel well. We'll see if today is better.
I have laughed over a consistent mistake I keep discovering as I edit old chapters of one of my WIPs -- I keep on writing "south of the road." What makes this humorous is that in my story's canon, there is nothing south of the road but a huge mountain, so I really mean north of the road -- and I keep on finding this error, because obviously south must have been more natural to write than north. Even funnier is, I think I'm the only one who has ever noticed this as an error. No reader has noticed this problem with geography. I wonder if that means it really doesn't matter if I don't get it exactly right? ;-) That's one reason I go back and keep re-editing things, though, because I do find silly mistakes and I'm a stickler for getting my facts straight.
