I am an idiot.

I really am.

There's no nice way of saying this.

I am an idiot.

Why?

Because I do silly things.

My best friend also happens to be my editor.

Nicole is pretty damn good.

She knows her stuff.

She had The White absolutely PERFECT.

Then I ruined it.

Here's what happened.

The White was finished the editing stage. It was time to typeset it and send it off to print. I did something bad.

I decided whilst The White was in the printing program that I was going to make a few changes. This shouldn't have been a problem except I am terrible at punctuation, grammar and spelling.

So when I went through The White whilst it was imported into this program and made changes I also left behind a bunch of errors.

Then I didn't have Nicole check over it.

I sent 250 copies to print.

OOPS.

LIKE MAJOR OOPS.

I will NEVER EVER EVER EVER AGAIN make changes whilst looking at my book in a program where the font size cannot be enlarged past size 8!!!!

My editor Nicole will be the last person to touch my future work.

It is a vow.

So, if you're one of the people who purchased a copy of The White whilst I was still selling the first 250 copies you are now the proud owner of a bunch of errors.

Sorry.

I won't do it again.
