The lovely and talented Alexis Grant guest blogged today on Rachelle Gardner's literary agent blog. The post is not only extremely relevant, but insightful to those writers who spend more time in their manuscripts than in the digital world.

Four Ways to Make Your Own Luck Using Social Media

Best Typo

I was doing a little more editing on a novel of mine and came across a typo. I'm sure I was frantic in thought and just typing too quick to notice, but when I read through it I couldn't help but wonder how in the world I missed that.

The line was supposed to read: "...as she held up two flamboyant Hawaiian-print shirts."

What I wrote: "...as she held up two flamboyant Hawaiian-print shits."

I got a good laugh out of that one.

How about you? Do you have any funny typos you'd like to share?

1,000 words?

10,000?

I'm at a stopping point in one of my novels and I just feel like it's not coming together... it's around 10k, but I hate to stop. I really enjoy the concept.
