When I finally am making enough off Ad Astra to hire someone, the first thing I will do is hire a proofreader/editor for my newsletter because the number of typos is frankly embarrassing but I'm also shit at self-editing
There's *something* about staring at your own words that can make even the best of our brains go a little "tyop" blind - like, you know what you meant, so that's what you see, right?
I understand completely and it's why I was various friends' go-to "2nd eye" in college - I knew what they meant, but saw what they'd written, so my copyediting markings helped.
Still do it on occasion, but less often bc I should really charge for it.
