Mistakes
So here I am yet again updating this, when I should be studying for my final. I should really just turn off my laptop, tablet and phone and put them away. I don't need distractions!!!! I failed one class already. Though according to my college a D is passing, but it isn't good enough to pass on if I'm planning to transfer to a University, which I am planning to do. So I'm go to have to retake that class again. So all I have to worry about right now is, a ten page essay, and studying for my final in Art History. Which is all due next week.
Anyways, after all of this is over I'll be updating my other work. Mostly, "My Miracle, My Gift" And "His Daughter", and "Goodbye And Hello" since it's been a long time since I updated, nearly a year. So I need to work on those big time!!!!
Enjoy.

We all make mistakes in our writing. Seriously. There is no one who doesn't.
For some it might be spelling. Grammar or just punctuation.
And I make mistakes on all three. And I appreciate when my readers point out a mistake, and of course I've been fortunate to have such amazing readers that are polite about that.
Unlike many others I've come across on other stories from other authors.
I know some people have problems with all the three I mentioned before. For some it might because, English, or whatever language they are currently typing in, isn't their first language. So they have some problems with that. Or they just might not be the best at spelling. I'm not the best at spelling since some words are pretty difficult to spell.
And I understand that, English is my second language. My first language is Spanish, though English can be considered the same almost, since I learned English when I was around four years old.
And even though I'm fluent in both, I still make some, okay a lot, of mistakes in my writing.
I think I make the mistakes because I just type and don't really thing about it much. For example from just typing non-stop, I might end up putting "there" instead of "their" "its" instead of "it's". Simple mistakes like that. And sometimes my laptop decides to be mean and freezes at certain parts and doesn't add the letter I had pressed on.
Thankfully, as far as I know, I haven't spelled an embarrassing word. At least I think so. Because I know on my phone, when messaging my friends, I end up typing in a really embarrassing word, or rather damn auto-correct gets in the way and messes up the word I had just typed.
Though sometimes I end up adding an extra letter since I end up pressing not only on the space button, but a few extra letters, since I don't even look at the key board when I type. Though I do look at it when it's dark, and I have the lights off, but when the lights are on, I don't look at the board and just type.
And at the moment of typing everything seems alright to me, I see no problems with it. So once I'm done typing the chapter, I read it and look for any mistakes. I do find some, but I don't always catch them all.
ANYWAYS, I really appreciate the people who kindly point out the error. And, who don't comment the "you spelled it wrong", after like five or more other people have already pointed it out.
And there are some people in fanfictions that I have read where the author says that they would like the readers to point out any mistakes, so that they can learn from that.
I have mistakes in my work that I haven't fixed and don't plan to fix. For one reason only.
The thought of having any comments on a certain part, be lost just because I go in to fix one little word, makes me sad. I don't like thinking that those comments would be gone from that area and be lost in a sea of comments.
So now you know why I don't fix some things. Though I only fix them if I catch them before anyone comments, or if no one has commented on that area, then I go in and fix it.
So what is your "Mistakes" moment?
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I've had this on my mind for a while now, so I figured that I might as well just put it up now. I have some thoughts of what to put on next, but I'm not sure if I should put it right now, or later.
Though knowing how I am, instead of waiting and studying as I should be, I'm going to go type the next one, and start working a bit on my other word. I seriously need to stop for a bit now. I NEED TO PASS MY CLASSES!!!!
So that's it for now. Hope you enjoyed it.
