One of the final stages of proofing a book before its release is proofing the PDF copy, and I'm busy with that right now. More than half done, but found six errors. Not really surprised. I mean, I read my other two published books time and again, and still found errors. Not all the errors are typos. Some are inconsistencies. Like with Killer Eyes, there are thirteen total members of the Killers Guild. Yet in a reference to their number of members, I had written twelve. And in another reference, I had written that, other than Ming Sang, there were two Chinese members. But there are two Chinese members including Ming Sang.
There are some other examples, but I'm catching them and it just goes to show how important this stage of the publishing process is, because this is the last stage to catch those errors. So I'm glad I'm catching them. I hope to get this done by today or tomorrow, but you can't rush it. If you do, then you miss things like that. Back to work.
