Editors and Beta Folks,
proofreaders with dry dusty breath,
critics with their swamp-gas croaks
gather to peck my book to death.
Why did you use adverbs?
Multi-POV is obsolete!
I think that your reader deserves
an ending more complete
than this heading-for-a-sequel
glaring selling ploy,
because, well, all things being equal,
most buyers sure will not enjoy
finding that this reading trip
will only make them more unhip.
That was a great video, Steve! I totally get it. Great representation of a proofreader, but the video itself was classic. Thanks for making my day!
Ha ha ha! And … yep.
Proughreeders ar mie cuppa tee.
And the bane of our existence without which we could never suckcede! LOL
I love that he ate the evidence!
Too funny! Sadly, when I wrote my dissertation, the proofreader put in 12 mistakes, which I didn’t find till after the 400-page book was published. I was so tired of my dissertation at that point that I didn’t proofread the $2 per page proofreader’s work, I just approved it. Live and learn.
Lolol hilarious! My type of humor!!
