Inside Jan's Mind

If you read the previous post you may have noticed some basic proofreading errors. Apparently I don't know the difference between candy (dessert) and sand (desert). It's the Bob Hope DESERT Classic!

In my defense I was VERY nervous when I spoke with this gentleman, though I don't know why - I interview celebrities all the time. For some reason my brain just stopped immediately after he answered the phone. He must have thought I was a babbling idiot! One of my editors suggested that on the upside maybe he'll remember me... I don't want to be remembered as a stuttering moron! D'oh...

Then after I wrote the story and prepared to proof and send it last week I discovered that the motherboard on my desktop fried the hard drive causing the loss of about two years' work, including artwork! I backed up faithfully, but evidently the CD Rom never recorded anything. Not only am I faced with this loss, but now I need to buy another computer... And I can so readily afford that!

Anyhoo, in my haste to get this out into the world I didn't proof as closely as I should have. If you had a good chuckle over the obvious error or feel like acting on the story, my work here is done...
