ladysophiekitty | Writing mistakes

For all of you on my F-list who write, this is for you.

One of my main problems with writing, besides my complete lack of focus, is that I tend to forget/contradict things and not look over what I've written after I've written it. With the exception of a few betaed chapters, I usually write something, I might (and very rarely) look over it briefly, and then post it.

So there's this story I wrote where I killed off this character, forgot I killed him off, and then a few chapters later I'm writing this rescue scene, and he's one of the rescuers! I end up getting a review that was like, "Umm, isn't Moody dead?"

What about you? Any silly mistakes you have?

X-posting this on SAYS and on The Pencil Posse.
Speaking of The Pencil Posse (self-promoting time) I'd loooove getting new members. Especially since things have been really quiet around there, lately. It's for writers of all fandoms, original fiction included.
