As much as some people will call a misspelled word, a missing comma or an occasional fragmented sentence the end of the world, they are not.

I have yet to read a book without errors, and I am hardly OCD on the subject. I'm not talking about random indie writers but national bestsellers.

Personally, when I'm reading a book, involved in the story and characters then an error is very, very easy to overlook. Write the story, get it down on paper and clean it up afterwards. Get someone else to look at when your done, as it's almost impossible to catch your own errors.

Something I recall reading a few years ago was that if a car came of the assembly line being 99.99% perfect there would still be 10 things wrong with it. So just write your story, if its good, it will be good typos and all.
