When I read a story that I've written, I know what it's supposed to say so when I read it I read what's supposed to be written. This is a problem I've had for years - I can't proofread something until a few days after I write it. A week is better but a few days is always needed.
See, I'm not a perfect person. When I write and everything is flowing I sometimes leave out the occasional word, suffix, or contraction - when I'm typing frantically to capture the idea while it's still in my head. That's means my work involves typos that I can't see.
Normally that isn't an issue. I just leave things on my computer for a couple of weeks and then proofread. Alas, sometimes there are hard deadlines in life. For example, Halloween is coming in a couple of days and I don't have time to let the story age. It's only a couple of lines away from being finished but I'll need help looking for typos.
So - does anyone want an advance copy of a new story? One that involves a family legend, five college girls, and something called "the spanking ghost". If so then I'll email you the story and you can get an advanced look for the low, low price of pointing out any typos that you find. Contact me and this deal can be yours. And it's not a limited offer - I'll take as many extra pairs of eyes that I can get. Just PM me with your email address and I'll send it right off.
