Mistakes and screw ups...Better learn from them

If you are not sure about something ...LOOK IT UP...before you send your manuscript off to a publisher.
I just did an article on "Ghost Writing" instead of "Ghostwriting" and sent it off....Sigh!

I was going to look up if it is supposed to be one word or two before I finished and forgot. I just looked it up and have seen it both ways but the overwhelming majority has it as one word.

Hopefully the editor won't reject it out of hand. I think it is a really good article for the magazine I sent it to. If they reject it I will send it to a non-paying magazine that I like and have been wanting to get into.

As I said learn from every screw up you make and you will make less and less over time.

Once more into the fray

I have relaunched Randy's write.

Some pearls along with some dung it's gonna be about writing...mine, yours, no one in particulars.
I and others will be the source to dazzle you with lots of the good, the bad and the indifferent.
Writing will never be the same.
Who knows one of these days we may make a difference.

See you in the funny papers,
Randy
