This is why you should use an editor.

Or be more careful.

    I was almost at the end of the tenth edit of Kongomato 4 last night when  something began to nag me.

    There was a enormous, yawning, chasm of plot hole. For the last nine edits I've typed over this hole, correcting the spelling and ensuring that absolutely no punctuation errors only made this beginner's error even easier to see. I might not be a worldwide bestseller of books, but I have written over twenty novels.

    After pounding my head into the printer a few times (it's broken, anyway - the printer, not my head) I began again at the point where the amateurish mistake should have been addressed. I'm now at the part where it should be completely sealed. 

    And there was me thinking I could start messing about with Kindle Create in preparation for uploading it. Another edit it is, then, just to make sure all traces of it are gone.

    What a dumbkopf.
