Silicon Burning

For the first time in my life, I'm stopping reading a book because there are just too many errors. Thomas McCaughley I really like your book Silicon Burning, but I stop counting after 10 errors and I gave the next chapter a second chance, maybe you put the first one in last minute. It's good writing and I like the book. When you get a copy editor I'll try to read it again. It showed so much promise.



When I was a high school freshman, I hoped my ideas would carry me past all the errors. My papers would come back all marked up in red. When I got a computer for college, my writing improved dramatically because of the spell check.

But if the spell check can't figure out which word you were going for, doesn't list it as one of the options, you still have to figure out how to spell it. But it was more indentation errors and sentences that didn't make sense. Like someone had not read the final product.

I don't know anything about you Thomas McCaughley, but I think you're a promising writer. I hope I can read your books in the future.
