I don't suppose this counts, but for a while I was sure that 'intrical' was a word. Lol.

I'm not sure if I completely understand what they are, but I think I do... I catch most of my mistakes this way (I think) on the read-through. But, there are some doozies from the first drafts I've eliminated. Haha, AGAIN right there. I haven't eliminated the first drafts, just the doozies, lol. Can't remember most of the mistakes though.
Tim/Dally fight scene (completely un-slash):
"Dally twisted, bring his hand up hard, slamming his fist into his left eye."
Uh, *Tim's* left eye.
"He fairly collapsed onto Tim, his free hand grabbing frantically at his groin."
NOT Tim's.
I caught the first, but not the second before posting. C'est la vie.

Ha!
Okay, mars, thanks for starting this thread, and zevie, thanks for posting that.
I'm going to do some misplaced modifier huntin'. I must have one or two somewhere.
Oh, here's one. It not mine. It's an example from someone that I edit for. She was reading a story and someone said, "Who wants to watch Head?" but it registered without the "to watch" part... You can guess what that one read as.
And that's all I've got now.
Cheers!

Today, I told my neighbor to have fun at fencing today...I ment at work, but I was looking at the fence. That kinda counts, eh? I have somthing to share like that. I was on the computer and my brother was asking if he could have the rest of my slurpee, I said yes. Then he askes what flavor is it, and I'm reading something about murder. And so, of course, I say murder. But absent mindedly and all. Then he says okay, and when he realizes what I said he's like what? So I say "I just said murder, didn't I?" and he goes "Yeha." So I say "I meant mixed." Now it's kind of an inside joke between us if either of us gets a mixed slurpee at WaWa. And I guess you guys are in on it to. And if that dosen't count, Sorry! |

I found one!
"Sighing, he dug around in the drawer for a church key, then opened it and took a swig."
Yeah, poor Dallas had to drink a church key until I noticed that.
Cheers!

I just started trying to write my next chapter, and came up with this for the first three lines.
"Tim watched Dallas leave through the window, frowning. He stared at the dirty glass, rubbed his head and leaned against it. The second Dallas had left, he couldn’t stop the instant thought about his gang and it was already starting to ache."
What I meant was:
"Tim looked out the window, frowning, watching Dallas leave. He rubbed his head and leaned against the dirty glass. The second Dallas had left, he couldn’t stop the thoughts about his gang. His head was already starting to ache."
Ugh. Forget it. DELETE. Going back to sleep.

Ha! *to the tune of "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly"* There was a tough greaser who lived in a bottle... Edit:Yesterday, when my older brother and his son were over, Syede(my brother's son) and my younger brother were shooting at each other with Nerf guns. Well, the Eagles were losing(I think). I turn around and I say "The greasers-" What I had meant to say was the Eagles. I guess I shouldn't read Outsiders stuff while saying"The Eagles are probably gonna lose." |
