Tattoo with the artist's initials...
A guy paid for and received a tattoo of a family member who passed away... His grandfather. Thinking the tattoo looked exactly like the photo the artist worked from, he went away pleased. A few weeks later he was showing the tattoo to his great-grandmother who noticed initials in the tattoo... The initials matched the artist's name!
Annoyed, he confronted the tattoo artist wanting a partial refund as the signature wasn't in the deal. The artist refuses and he goes to the shop owner, who makes the artist give a full refund.
The guy posted his story on Reddit and received responses like:
"They kind of branded you with their initials and they should get fired."
"Tattoo artists don't get to sign their work because their canvas is a human being. This is a KNOWN. This is conventionally understood."
Yeah, that was done in bad taste. Since the story was done anonymously, no photos of the work was supplied. Also, I didn't see any suggestions to fix it. Something like making the area around the initials darker or completely laser them out and retouch that area... he's got some cash to do it with.

Coincidence?

Yesterday, I posted a blog that might have sound offensive for some.
Today, I got a malicious software attack while opening a page of CS…An attempt to activate a Trojan things on my comp….Thanks to an updated useful protection, the attack failed and end up where it belong, in the trash.
Make me feel a bit

major fire
In Oakland California severa individuals illegally moved into a two story warehouse. There was only one entrance. access to the second floor was only by a rickety wooden stairs made from shipping pallet. The first floor is described as being filled with furniture and crates. Zoning officials were aware of complaints and had opened an investigation into the zoning violations. Last night a rave (party) was held there. Several hundred young people attennded. A fire broke out. There were no sprinklers. The stairs burnt and many were trapped. This morning with only 20% of the ruins searched over 20 bodies have been found. Many others are still missing and are believed to be inside somewhere.

WRITING - The problem is that you're too close...
"Look!" said Edward, pointing through the grimy veranda window at the distant hills. "The sun is shining again."
The End
That's it! You have finished your magnum opus, pushed your chair back in smug satisfaction and, hands interlocked behind your head, closed your eyes and sighed contentedly.
Congratulations!
However, whatever you're writing, however many words have emanated from your fingertips, you're not finished yet!
Look, I'm sure you've read and reread it countless times. I'll bet that you've rectified many grammatical errors and revamped a number of weaker passages. That's great! But I can also guarantee that, no matter how many times you've checked it, your masterpiece still contains errors, inconsistencies and continuity issues.
Please don't be annoyed by what I say. It is not an attack on your ability, but a simple matter of fact. Why? Because you're not an editor or proofreader - you're a writer!
In the same way that an actor is only the face of the film, needing directors, producers, foley artists, grips, best boys and so much more to achieve their 'effortless' portrayal, a writer needs to have their work professionally proofread. Our job is to write, to get the narrative down, to give the characters the colour and interest and to join the dots between the plot points. It is the job of proofreaders and editors to make the necessary adjustments and to give it that final polish. That is their job, their expertise, and part of the reason why a publishing house takes a handsome percentage. This is especially true for self publishers. If you are the only one who has read your work, no matter how much you have checked it, you will be wasting time, effort and money by publishing it without investing in someone to proof it.
Initially, you can give people you trust have a copy of your work. Let them read, critique and aid you in the process. Just be sure to use friends and family whom you trust, and not sycophants who will just tell you how wonderful you are. Now is not the time for high praise and ego boosting. Leave that for your book signings.
Of course, you cannot hand in a pile of rubbish to your copy editor. Unedited, uncoordinated, unreadable waffle will simply be discarded - and you usually get just one shot at this. You are expected to have a slightly more than rudimentary understanding of grammar, style and spelling - these are your tools after all - but many established writers hand in their manuscripts knowing that there will probably be a handful inconsistencies and errors. As long as your work is not riddled with problems, you should be fine.
Even if you are also an editor or proofreader - you're too close to your own work. Because you understand the meaning of certain phrases or interactions and because you have read the passages countless times, you become blind to the words and, without even realising, can end up skimming things that you fully intended to analyse in detail. Even this post will probably contain elements I should change. I have skimmed through it three times, but feel free to share them below. :)
Don't be annoyed when people point out these errors. Thank them instead. You're a writer and, by pointing out your errors, they are helping you to improve your skills.
