I write short stories in my spare time and recently entered a short story competition.
However, despite proof reading several times and running it through an online grammar checker several times too, I read over it tonight to discover a word has been changed 😫😫. It is clearly an error as the sentence doesnt make sense (though it's easily guessed what the right word is).
Have I blown my chances, or do you think judges might overlook one error? I am so annoyed as I have no idea how this happened.
Obviously I know only the judges of the actual competition can really say, but just wondered if anyone could advise?
