If you were able to hear me speak you would know that the first word was pronounced /Paul-ish/ which is what I attempted to do to "Cunt Next Door. The second use of the word was pronounced /Pole-ish/ which is how I like my single-moms dancing.
In any case, I don't know what kind of fuck up I had today on chapter nine of cunt next door. It was royal though.
I've had multiple errors. Here is the root of one of them; Mike and I worked on this together and there are times when a revised chapter sort of got folded into the flow of the story.
As I polish (the paul-ish kind) the story and add little details, embellish, and fix grammatical mistakes I missed key points when the entire text repeats between chapters.
The text seemed to fit nicely in both chapters.
My old process was to write a chapter and publish it IMMEDIATELY. I was so happy to share my stories that I'd just publish it as soon as I finished editing it.
However, my new process is to *COMPLETELY* finish a story and then go back and edit it, add illustrations and publish it.
What I am learning is that my memory sucks, and I am running into a new and unanticipated problem months after the chapter was written. I am hoping today's chapter nine was a one-time occurrence but thank you to the readers who are enjoying the story and pointed out the problems.
There were a couple others (chapter 3 somehow got copied into chapter 9). In any case, I think it is sorted now and there is NEW content in the final revised chapter nine, so if you read it earlier today, you may want to go back and double check.
Thanks!
