Hilarious Writing Mishap

[LightNovelNovice]

So I've been writing this story for a while now, and it's been fun to write... so much so sometimes I will forget an important detail like *which day of the week it is*
I've written out an entire day that technically should be a Saturday, but as if it was a weekday. This is so silly, but I have an equally funny solution.

I'll be creating and mentioning the concept of a "Second Friday" simple to address the fact there were SIX weekdays instead of five.

I'm curious if anyone else has found a silly mistake like this while writing, and how you handled it?

Edited some words in MS Word, but I forgot Word edits take your command as it is. As such, every word with -er got edited, and I uploaded it before in HoneyFeed.

It was in the third volume. I was in the seventh when I noticed the stupid mistakes. I quietly edited the entire volume.

When I got Grammarly, I blindly accepted its suggestions in bulk without vetting them. I still get comments and then go back to fixing errors it made, changing the unique names of my characters, places, etc.

"Did you mean "Share woman"?


Didn't remember some really common English words, so I just wrote the German ones instead. In the end, it turned out that said German words WERE the English words I didn't remember... Effing loanwords

Its normal for people to forget days and time and such, and even forget what month and year today is.

Usualy happen with people that have been graduated from school and college. Whether they're jobless or busy at work.

Many worker relish that they could have sunday or even saturday vacation, but there are many other who didnt get a break even at sundat and saturday.

A second friday sounds like a temporal istability thingy, possbly something those in world might even consider, oh this happens now and then no biggie... sounds like a awsome twist or foresadowing!

I have come close to doing this a few times but (as far as I know) have caught myself each time before it got out of hand. One way I avoided it is by having part of the story happen on another world where the regular day names don't make sense (though the characters actually know the "correct" ones I have just had the days running parallel with the "real" world and never named the fantasy world's days).

On the forced editing side, I noticed (fortunately 15 chapters before it would have been posted) that Google Docs decided the demon named Conflar was Conflagration - which, granted, is what I took the name from but still...
