I'm typing a story now, in which i have a person sliding into the passenger side of the car twice in one paragraph. Oh well.

And, then there are those internal errors, you pick up after the
umpteenth re read. Like realizing that you had originally placed one
made-up location south of another, but when you revisited the subject,
you said it was north. I also had to write a poem for one of my
characters about the Green turtles of Brazil. I based it on a National
Geographic article. They migrate an astounding distance to lay their
eggs on Ascension Island and then head right back to Brazil. They don't
migrate all the way to the North Atlantic seas, however, as I originally
wrote -- Heaven knows why. I must have re read that thing 50 times, but
it just finally jumped out at me last month. I'm beginning to suspect
that -- for me at least -- it isn't possible to re read/edit my work too
many times.
