Did you do a lot of correction on a chapter you updated?

[sushiroll_woofwoof]

Well, I'm asking because I'm curious if it's not just me who did a lot of corrections to every chapter I already updated.
I did double-check, triple-check, or more on the chapter before I update it, but I always found grammar mistakes when I re-read my chapter again.
Does anyone feel the same way?
It also cause the readers every chapter is decreasing.
Well, Can I be shameless once in a month?
you can give me a feedback if you like, just ignore if you don't.

Happened with my second chapter...
Though I am at least B2 (officially), it isn't my first language, and I tend to use past tense verbs when I already used "did" (did posted, did forgot, did spotted), but I rushed to finish said chapter in a week or two and I even had some blank spaces where color should be, layers I used for skeletons that should have been invisible and even duplicated pages.
Had to update it two times the same day, both here and in my blog.

I think most of these errors were corrected last chapter, but a man is not perfect...

Your story seemed interesting!
Well, I'm French, who grew up in indonesia, and now I live in Australia.
So, English, is my 4th language, LOL. That's why I did quite a lot of mistakes, but I won't give up on my story.
I also released my novel on Scribblehub. So i feel your struggle too!

You should paste the link to your story in the entry, could serve you to get better feedback.

[sushiroll_woofwoof]

I will do it! Thanks!

[Crusoe]

Oh I totally have that. I work far in advance and sometimes I take some time to reread the chapters I have hoarded. I also give everything one last critical read before I publish

[Berserker]

I found a program called ProWritingAid. I do a ton of corrections but this program makes them pop out automatically for fixes. The free version only works online though.

Happened on my recent episode lol

A typo plus I redrew something so the joke makes more sense now.

90% of the time when I edit an episode I've already uploaded it's because I missed some formatting when copying over from word, and the other 10% are spelling/grammar I somehow didn't notice in like 3 rounds of editing

[WolfUnderTheMoon89]

My flow was to write, reread, edit and then two friends went over the chapter before posting and still it was possibe to find a mistake.
I mostly fix it after when I see the mistake on tapas, de document I don't.
I'm rewriting and there is so much stuff changing that I didn't bother with the fixes in the doc

[sushiroll_woofwoof]

I did that, but when i re-read my chapters by my phone, i always found something i need to fix.

[sushiroll_woofwoof]

I'm not alonee:grin:

[RainbowCat]

That actually never happened to me I normally just write and correct wrong spelling and grammar when I see it, then read over it again. When I copy it from Word to Tapas, I let Grammarly check it and there are a 3-5 mistakes left. Then I publish it. I reread my chapters after two weeks but hardly ever correct anything Am I just weird?

[sushiroll_woofwoof]

You are not weird. you are amazing!

[WolfUnderTheMoon89]

you're not weird at all as mentioned by

@sushiroll_woofwoof (ps love your name)

[RainbowCat]

Oh I'm definitely not amazing but thanks

[Crusoe]

Same honestly, but I know it'll never be perfect, so I just deal with it and publish anyway. Getting an editor may help!

[sushiroll_woofwoof]

that's a good idea, thanks!

The schedule feature on this site in an invaluable tool for me, my stuff is generally scheduled weeks, some of them are now months in advance to give me time to make amendments.
I'm so bad at proofreading and so often I work on something and the moment it's complete think 'it's ready', upload it then realise I've done no shading, I could have done more in the background, there's an error etc.

[KhanSpring]

No, it's not just you. I try to find errors before publishing, but I always realize I missed some after that. There are people on the forum who are kind enough to point them to me, when I miss some.
