The first time I read my stuff is as I write it. Then, I read each chapter for the second time after the story is finished and I've started posting.
In between, some odd chap, thornfoote, mumbles around and about for a while.
If I were a serious writer, if I had the time, and most especially the talent … if, if, if. (Insert something here about fishes and wishes.)
Of course I'm also distracted by sex, drugs and rhythm & blues.
Paige
P. S.
Some readers can be such pluckers of nits. One guy faulted me for using 'payed' as the past tense of pay. Prosaic misconception on his part. Erudite folks, as most in here are, will recognize the propriety of 'payed' as engaged throughout Balkan interpretations of Vedic meter. Elementary.
