Sooo... Have you done any major booboos so far? We can share here, but let's not focus on the negative aspect of it.:P Me, I accidentally overwrote my outline with my actual story, because I forgot that the file bearing the title was the outline. Urgh. Positive side: At least I can get out of my OC tendencies and try to wing this (though there's a part of me that would try to stick to the outline as closely as I can remember it).:P |

I don't know if this is considered as a booboo but I always misspell the names of my characters which is kinda weird. XD

Oh lol. Something like that happens to me too, except that for me, I actually forget the names I give the characters and places, so I end up switching a few letters until I remember to check up what I used first.

I can't tell if I'm finally going to name one of my characters Gat Sura, Gat Baya, or Gat Abaya. I also can't figure out whose side he's on.

I often misspell names of my characters, forget names of other supporting and cameo characters and because of 'enjoying' my MC's love story with her best friend, my story turned from Young Adult to Chick Lit. :P

My biggest mistake so far - I wrote this really long scene involving the main character and one of her friends before realising that I struck that scene out from my outline because most of the information in the scene directly contradicts the information in another, more important scene.

I wrote around 4k worth, then read it and hated it.
So yeah. :-P

I often forget about the setting/place too. Especially when I made up the place. I usually confuse one place with anther and realize my mistake at the middle of my novel. :3

Too few synonyms.
The nouns and verbs keep getting repeated because of my limited vocabulary.
My friend says "Oh, for crying out loud, if I read that word 'overstep' again then I'll stop reviewing your novel!"
