#WritersCoffeeClub 12/15 Do some readers over-interpret your work or get messages you weren't sending?

I can guarantee that about 25% of your readers of, well, ANYTHING, will not merely mis-read what you wrote, but get any message exactly backwards and upside down (bonus points: in mirror writing too).

If you want to say something in a novel you need to say it at least three times before 75% of your readers notice it (and then another 25% will—rightly—acuse you of gratuitous repetition.)
