Autocorrect of the day: tried to write 'kindness', accidentally wrote 'out of the kidneys of your heart'

I'm not saying I'm a genius, but I did just spell 'hors d'oeuvres' right the first time without Googling it first

When you're sick and also have your sick child at home so you can't work but you're a freelancer so sick leave doesn't exist #freelancelife #thankGodforunderstandingclients

I'm really proud of this, ok. #ThePlotDemandedIt

My editor convinced me to have my male MC take off his shirt in front of my female MC during the enemies-to-lovers arc but it is STRICTLY for first-aid purposes, we swear.

I am *this close* to becoming everything I swore to destroy. 😂😂

My novel is the kind of fantasy where the proofreader has to highlight "shield-bears" and, with 100% seriousness, ask, "Should this be 'shield-bearers,' or are there bears with shields?"😂

Thanks to the I, N and S keys failing on my keyboard, this is how I just managed to spell 'businesses'. Editing is going great (or as that originally went, 'edtg ss gog great'). @apple help 😭

[Emma's Edit @emmas_edit]

A wise insight that I think all authors need to gain!

[Emma's Edit @emmas_edit]

@DBishopOfficial @_BrittJohnston_ Aww thank you Danny!! 😊 I do really love dystopian fiction! 😄

[Emma's Edit @emmas_edit]

It's #WorldBookDay! This is definitely, 100% how you should spend it: in pyjamas, with a hot drink and a huge pile of books.

[Emma's Edit @emmas_edit]

Ahhhhhh pre-orders are open!!!!! 😍😍😍

Aww thanks, Danny!! ☺️ Thanks for not considering my very emotional reactions to plot twists unprofessional 😂

[Emma's Edit @emmas_edit]

@JohnBoyega I need you to know that my 2yo REALLY loves "Fig" in #TheForceAwakens 🥰😂

[Emma's Edit @emmas_edit]

Just seen a person spell "compliment" as "complainant" in a Tweet and I--

[Emma's Edit @emmas_edit]

Grammar lesson of the day from your friendly neighbourhood editor: 'slicked-back' and 'slick-backed' are not the same thing. 😂

[Emma's Edit @emmas_edit]

@RowanvaleBooks @shannonecondon1 Ahh congrats, @shannonecondon1!
