Ever get the impression

That there are no professional editors any more? Or at least they are sub par to fanfic editors? Lately I'm seeing more and more published novels coming out with errors that make you weep.

Just read a scene in Jennifer Lee Carrell's Interred with their Bones , one of the many Da Vinci Code inspired historical manuscript stories, this one about Shakespeare's lost plays. It's fairly good.

Then I get to the scene where she has the main character pulling out a card from an old-fashioned card catalogue and putting in a pink 'out' slip and two pages later she does the exact same thing. Now as a writer I can tell you how easy it is to accidentally rewrite an action but either me or my betas tend to catch it. I mean this isn't a typo slipping past here. How do you miss it?

Didn't get the job

the one in WV that is. Still have the one here. Sigh. Mom is very upset. I'm not. I knew the moment I met them I didn't have and I wasn't sad about. I trust my gut. I could tell two of them saw me as an annoyance they had to deal with and get rid of. Oh well.

I'm here for now and I'm happy enough just to have work.
