Beta reader feedback: 'This character on page 89 seems unnecessary.'
Checked page 89. Character responded in margins: 'I seem very necessary.'
Asked beta reader for clarification. No response.
Checked manuscript again.
Page 90. New sentence I didn't write: 'The critic will not be missed.'
"My narrator knows too much."
"That's fine for omniscient POV."
"He knows my bank PIN. I don't remember writing that."
"..."
"He just corrected my spelling. In this conversation."
Proofreading manuscript at 3 AM. Found typo on page 12. Fixed it. Refreshed document. Typo now on page 47. Fixed it. Refreshed. Page 203. I'm not fixing it anymore. It lives here now. Sometimes at night I hear it moving between chapters.
