Who wants to press that SEND button and then discover after that you've used there instead of their, or changed character names halfway through a chapter?
Here's some examples from my latest book, the 2nd Detective in a Coma book, Cannibal City. Read them and weep with laughter fellow writers and readers -

| It's not a puddle it's a muddle. |
He landed his size 12 loafers in a muddle.
It was me that got in a muddle because I meant puddle.
He shoved tape over her mouth and she could hardly breathe and she screamed.
That takes some doing screaming when you're gagged. Of course, she could scream under the gag.
I've also had people coming out of doors they never went in. My personal favourite was a dead man coming back to life and, no it wasn't my zombie novel The Restless Dead. This was another crime novel:)
I'd love to hear what mistakes you've spotted in your work. Have you bawled at the muddle with your puddle?
Please leave a comment so we can chortle away together.
