Editors changing facts without fact checking is high on my list (changed the race of someone without checking, ouch). National magazine. Not a happy person who read about herself. Me? Not a happy writer that day.

However (as you know) I have my mother rooting me on and I have long forgiven her for framing my first check! Yes, it hangs on the wall! When people stop by my blog and comment, that is a good day ,too
