....wow. No, I so don't know that you're talking about London if you write Lindon. I assume that you're talking about some place called Lindon, and no, I don't speak TXT, either. WTF was that supposed to mean?
How old is this guy? Eighteen, nineteen? Mired in the "Me Me Me Special Snowflake Everything I Do Is Awesome Even When It's Not?" There's something to be said for self-confidence, sure...but you're right, Ficbot, the typos
are his problem.
I recently self-published a novelette. A reader told me that he found ONE TYPO (form instead of from, a product of typing too fast and something I overlooked on multiple read-throughs). What did I do? Immediately turned around and fixed the copy as fast as I could.
There's no excuse for not turning out some kind of quality product just because you're self-publishing. Period, end of story.
Cut, print, that's a wrap.
