the easiest way to find a mistake in something you wrote is to send it to someone to have them look at it and then look at it again while waiting for them to respond

fucking REAL. You notice every single typo and grammatical error and stumble over yourself to fix them as quickly as possible like "PLEASE I PROMISE I'M NOT ACTUALLY THAT STUPID"
It's always this or actually publishing it and then SCRAMBLING to fix it before someone reads it and sees how SILLY you are.
If you noticed typos, missing words, and other copyediting mistakes in my posts getting incrementally fixed during the hour or so following their having gone live
no you didn't.
A trick i have for proofreading is to change the font into something silly but legible. It sounds dumb but it helps.
for me this is definitely a case of breaking out of the focus zone I get into when writing, which is great for getting words down but not necessarily for parsing them on a readback. need a different frame of reference for editing
