About This Quote

When the young and relatively inexperienced J. K. Rowling said, “One of the problems with being a writer is that all of your idiocies are still in print somewhere,” she was speaking about the difficulty of editing your work. It’s quite possible that after you write something and send it off to be printed, it will be published—and especially if it’s a bestseller—with a few errors. The best thing you can do is make sure those errors don’t change the meaning of what you wrote.
