Don't you just hate it when you get a book out and that's happened?

I know what you mean but have recently discovered just what a writer's blindspot is - you really don't see your own mistakes. I have just finished going through something I've been working on all year - reading 350-odd pages and passing them with a fine-toothed comb. I think I've now been through it 5 times in the last month and I'm still finding mistakes. The really weird thing is I don't see the mistakeswhen reading in Word but they jump out at me in PDF format were I can't correct them -so I have 2 documents open in parallel -most confusing!
I really was serious about the book idea - you should think about it. I'm sure you could come up with a great title - the sequel obviously would be called "More Less"
