Or, should we say, saved my ass.
I mean, I think of myself as a careful writer. I research. I edit. I edit again. I get friends to look over my stuff, and they have good, critical eyes.
But when Evernight came back from copyediting, there were at least 20 places where I had just gotten something dead wrong.
I guess it just goes to show me not to get too complacent -- and to remind me to write a very nice thank-you letter when I send the manuscript back!
Anybody else had this happen?
