My newest ebook—Sights, Sounds, Words, Volume 1: Movie & Book Reviews, 2004–2015—is now available for sale on Amazon.com. I found a ton of goofy typos with the help of Amazon's e-text preview app and AI, and I found a few more random errors—misspellings that looked like regular words (e.g., at one point, I had mistyped single as singe). The latter type of error is much harder to catch, and before I put out the dead-tree version of this book, I'm going to have to comb through the ms very, very carefully to make sure every last error gets caught and corrected. I'm not looking forward to slogging through a 400-plus-page manuscript yet again, but I'm going to dive back into it later this week.
Today, though, I'm taking a break from walking and manuscripts to bake and distribute cookies to my building's staff (concierges and grocery employees, mostly). Tomorrow, I'm taking a very early-morning walk, then seeing my local doc about getting a health checkup for my hypothetical university job. Also later this week: I'm visiting KMA to see what I can see and looking into getting onto the Soomgo app, where I'll hang out my private-tutoring shingle. I've got a lunch on Saturday, May 30, with the boss and his family, and things just get busier from there. Disappointingly, I haven't seen anything other than summer-camp ads on Dave's ESL Cafe, and Unijobs.kr isn't currently showing anything I can plausibly sink my teeth into. Maybe my guess was wrong that university job ads would come out in May. Maybe I should've said June. All that said, go pick up a copy of my new ebook for only $2.99. If you find any further typos in it, email them to me, and I'll make corrections. If you've bought the book (and you must have if you're finding typos), then rest assured your purchased text will be updated with the corrections I implement. That's one of the nice things about Amazon ebooks.
ADDENDUM: If you're holding out for the dead-tree book, it'll be out sometime in late June.
