New Beginnings - about corrections

Posted at
 

Several readers have been helpfully catching my occasional missteps. Please continue to do so if you are so inclined. Whether they be typos or brain farts, I do want them to be corrected. Eventually. But I've come to respect a few things about my writing, and I've made a plan I think I can live with.

The first lesson: If I try to outline my story I will feel like I have already written it and it will cause me to be unable to continue writing it. That is exactly what happened to my first story and I won't make that mistake again.

The second lesson: When writing a story, I don't like to stop writing it to do revisioning. Shifting gears to fix something of substance from a previous chapter really breaks my creative stride.

What you are reading is usually posted the day after I have finished writing it. If you're lucky I've re-read it a couple of times, but it's surprisingly hard to see the errors when you already know the way it's supposed to be.

So I am noting the little issues as they are being pointed out and I am correcting these tiny things in my copies of the chapters. These are easy and pose no issue, and after a suitable time, I may periodically update an old chapter.

Doing things like trying to fix up the many style issues I had in the first three chapters is going to have to wait for me to finish the story before I can even think about how I would want to fix them.

I hope these things don't impede your enjoyment of the story too much. Stay safe and healthy folks.
