But pyrokinesis is the ability to control/manipulate fire AKA what Elementals are doing. Why would that be a Sensitive ability? Does he mean ‘psychokinesis’ perhaps?

Was this error fixed in later prints of the book (”Bedlam”)?

I just gave myself a heart attack.

I accidentally posted the fourth chapter of Bug And Shell(d) and it's not even slightly done yet... I scrambled to copy/ paste/ delete that before anyone saw it.

I need to be a lot more careful.

Why is the edit and post button right next to each other?

sometimes it's the small bloopers that keep you sane

Sometimes something happens to you while writing that makes you smile a little later, even if the story itself is quite tragic. For my third chapter, which deals with the Heilbronn-Dachstein tragedy, I took care to clearly distinguish between the students and teachers so that there was no confusion. I usually write my stories as follows: I start with some initial research and create a basic structure for the story. Then I gradually add more research information and direct speech. I often write “... ”said person, in order to insert who is saying what later on.

But with this chapter, I wanted to define it better from the start and wrote: “...” said a student, “...”, said a teacher, and so on.

But after the fifth or sixth proofreading, I came across a small mistake that made me smile. It suddenly said: “Can we really see the Dachstein up there?” asked a Martin. And I thought to myself: “Wait a minute... how many boys named Martin are there?” 😅

you know what writing mistake i really hate about Lover’s Walk? How tf did Angel not acknowledge Spike’s drunk rambling right outside the (sloppily) boarded up entryway (full of huge gaps in which his voice and alcohol-infused scent could waft thru) to the patio??? Like, dude, there’s no way you didn’t know he was there, ranting at you less than 30ft away from where you were just reading by the fireplace. Was your little French paper-back romance (or whatever) really that engrossing that you didn’t smell the booze? anyways...i just hate when suddenly their vampire senses seem no better than human senses, just for the sake of unnecessary plot.

TMI did no wrong under the Sedition Act, says Umno lawmaker

KUALA LUMPUR, March 31, 2015:

Umno lawmaker and Pulai Member of Parliament Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed said it was a not right move to detain five staff of The Malaysian Insider (TMI) news portal under the Sedition Act 1948.

According to him, arresting the five under the Sedition Act was unjustified as what happened was more of an “error in reporting”.

“I think it is a (reporting) mistake. It shouldn’t be under the Sedition Act, which is why the government is being perceived so badly. The arrest was based on the article, not sedition.

“Arresting and throwing them into prison over a writing error is not supposed to happen,” he said in Parliament today.

As of today, five employees of TMI; The Edge publisher Ho Kay Tat, chief executive officer Jahabar Saddiq, Bahasa Malaysia news editor Amin Iskandar Shah, managing editor Lionel Morais and Bahasa Malaysia features and analysis editor Zulkifli Sulong were arrested by police.

Their arrest came after The Malaysian Insider published an article on March 25, quoting sources as saying that the Council of Malay Rulers rejected the proposal to amend the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965.

“I think it’s because of the title. The government must understand the development of the media today, this is the concept of online and no longer printing.

“You cannot use the Sedition Act for everything. Look at it first,” Nur Jazlan said.

His fellow Umno colleague, Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz, however, felt that the arrest was warranted.

“The freedom of press does not mean freedom to lie. Whatever written must be the truth,” he told a press conference at Parliament this evening.

Nazri said the Sedition Act was needed to ensure Malay rulers were respected.

“They were rightly arrested because journalists are not above the law.”
