One of the tricks someone recommended - and it seems to work, to a degree - is to change the font of the file you're editing before going for a second (nth) pass with your grammar comb. For some reason, changing the font allows you to see your text with fresh eyes.Olga Godimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00358026814685611301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794648014067102242.post-17184439990315005332016-04-07T12:19:50.628-04:002016-04-07T12:19:50.628-04:00Commas are my nightmare.

Don't know why. Maybe it's because I'm good at the rules. The hard part for me is dreaming up sentences that aren't clunky or that don't sound like bullet points on a Powerpoint presentation.

It took me YEARS and thousands of hours to overcome my affliction, but I still miss the mark every now and then. We ALL do...and look at how many typos you see in the big FIVE publishers. We are human. No one, not even after dozens of sets of eyes, will have a PERFECT manuscript....Michael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794648014067102242.post-51497777751739231442016-04-06T21:29:41.752-04:002016-04-06T21:29:41.752-04:00I know what you mean. I actually "know" ...I know what you mean. I actually "know" grammar rules. I teach with them. Despite that, I still make plenty of mistakes on social media, in my books, and everywhere I put words down. I can't seem to see the mistakes when I write them, and once the words are there, I still don't see them. Of course, if one of my students handed me a paper with the same mistake, I would jump up and down with a red pen. Just kidding. I use a blue pen and I don't jump while correcting papers. I keep hoping that with more practice and more than my set of eyes on the page, I'll get better. <br />Best wishes on writing through the pesky grammar jungle!

I will read and reread something, and I will still find mistakes when I read again it months later. I used to do well with grammar, but I think I've been out of school too long! I must say, though, that your story excerpts have been so intriguing that I didn't notice any mistakes if there were any :)Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15165210377903518274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794648014067102242.post-26867197559315727772016-04-06T12:34:09.279-04:002016-04-06T12:34:09.279-04:00Join the club.

I have just finished my last seven chapters and sent them to my writing coach/book editor and I have already made an appointment for her to go through the entire book once I have done the rewrites. For me, it is something that I have learned to accept. I can't be perfect and I'll live with that. <br />Shalom,<br />Patricia @ <a href="http://patgarciaandeverythingmustchange.com/" rel="nofollow">EverythingMustChange</a>Pat Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04204650731843984192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794648014067102242.post-46088840023426089132016-04-06T12:14:10.560-04:002016-04-06T12:14:10.560-04:00As a publisher I say "God bless you for hirin...As a publisher I say "God bless you for hiring an editor!"
