I wrote a book and it was so much easier to proofread and correct on a paper copy. My eye could catch the mistakes better. The spell check was a key partner.
I like to print out the ms and pen the edits. First pass is on the computer, but 2nd, 3rd, etc. are on paper. I change the font to fool my eyes that it's fresh. It works!
How about The Daily Munch for a newspaper? Up here, we hit 70 yesterday in Bangor, breaking the record by eight degrees. We're being serenaded by the dulcet sound of our cellar sump pump, and I saw a mosquito with training wheels yesterday, so the hatch is impending.
As I write this it’s actually swelteringly hot in the house, but thankfully it looks like tomorrow’s weather will be more March-like. I’m not quite ready for summer! Hmm, Daily Munch, I’ll have to think it over.
I'm also a better paper-proofreader. I also prefer to read "real" books, although traveling without my Kindle would feel like missing a part of me (I might need 62 books for a 4-day work trip, right?!) and I keep a folio planner. It just makes more sense to my brain. iPhone Reminders are great, though!

I would be lost without spellcheck!
Wow what great and exciting things heading your way!!! Very eager to hear how everything goes
Thank you, Rachel!

Ooh, I might have to try that font trick!
Spring is a marvelous time of being rejuvenated and seeing new possibilities

I’m excited and excited for you! Happy for all the great news! Enjoy the warm weather and daffodils.😘
Thanks, Mom!

Oh I am a paper planner person too!
I’m ready for spring also and
looking forward to reading your short story.
Thank you, Aleta!
