That's probably sort of true, but that would only undermine your reputation with a minority of your readership. And over time your grammar/phrasings etc would improve.

You could speed it up by having an editor review your work and that way you can also have confidence your reputation isn't going to be undermined.



I think a very small minority would call me out on that small mistake, but a significant number of people would kind of feel the same way.

Having an editor would definitely help! Good idea to think about. Just not sure if a free blog is worth investing that money.


It doesn't necessarily have to cost money to get someone to offer a second pair of eyes. Could be a friend or interested party. You could add an attribution "Edited by <name>" so they get something out of it perhaps.

It's pretty common amongst webnovels, translations, and fanfiction for an editor to help out and get attributed.
