Ty for the help btw what do you mean by your brain tricks you and makes you think what you wrote is actually what you wrote
Ty good advice
I'll use a common grammar mistake for an example. Say in your head you wrote "me too" but in actuality you wrote "me to." And every time you reread over it, you're still reading "me too." Your brain isn't comprehending that you didn't put the correct form, and it's only seeing what it wants to see. A second pair of eyes will catch that for you.
This can not only happen with grammar but just other words in general. Happens to me all the time. Like words that sound the same but are completely different spelling and meaning. Ironically, sometimes my brain puts "right" instead of "write." They're common mistakes that might be difficult to catch if you're in a deep writing mood and flying though without really thinking too hard about what you're putting and more focused on getting your vague ideas down.
