Proof Before You Publish

They say those who can’t play, coach. To me, the same holds true for writing. Those who can’t write, edit.

Shutter vs. Shudder

This is a common mistake I am seeing more and more often in books.


Shutter– a blind for a window, or part of a camera


Shudder– to tremble in fear


Therefore, you cannot shutter with dread. You shudder.
