Whiskey + novel writing = lots of mistakes!
Manuscript & Scotch... a bad combo for editing!
Leave the whiskey drinking until after you’ve finished writing for the day, especially when writing a novel longhand! It’s not as painful as sewing and drinking whiskey (which leads to lots of bloody, pinpricked fingers and stained clothing) but it’s painful enough to have to see spelling errors in a nice hand-written manuscript!
Don’t make my mistake… save it for the toast after a hard day of work!
