On Writing: Typos

Um, yes, so. In a last minute, last time read through the overdue deadline book (at least up to the point that's left to write) I found this...

He smoothed his hands over her body, wanting her naked and writing beneath him. Restraint was hard won, his heart pounding with the almighty effort.

*head bonk* So do you see the typo??

It should be "writhing" not "writing."

Well, you know what's weighing heavily on your mind ;) (*must meet deadline*, not *oh darling!*)

That's called getting into character. Perhaps some smooth handed, naked writing is something we all could do with?

That's so sexy -- a guy turned on by a naked, writing woman. Do I need to ask Steve about this next time I arrive for a visit? *hee hee hee*

Don't all men want a woman writing underneath him???

You guys are killing me! Thanks for the laughs. I needed that.

LOL! Obviously she had a deadline to meet too if she was writing while naked.

Maybe they were co-authors of a story and she was writing her part while they...?
