Hello demented'verse readers![Poll #1763882]The first week of August, I'll actually be without my laptop, so I won't be able to write. Though, I'll still have occasional access to the internet, so I was thinking if I emailed myself the story file, I would still be able to post.

I was torn between "All at once" and "Once weekly" (like a serial.) But I decided upon "All at once" with the request that it be made available on PDF for e-reader download! Computer reading fatigues my eyes something fierce.

Once I get reading something, I usually want to power through to the end. Could be a function of my crappy memory, but there ya have it!

I could make a pdf when it's all done, sure! Usually when I do that, the pdf ends up having a few typos, because sometimes I don't see typos until I've posted the story on the internet (I'm still catching a few cases of missing punctuation in VVV, but things like that are trivial.) So, yeah, if you'll forgive me my typos, then I can upload a pdf for you. :)

Forgive? No, never! ;) Pffft...typos are nuthin'. I'm just grateful for the PDF!

Actually, I do a lot of my editing by uploading my fic to my Kindle. All of a sudden, it looks different. It feels like an actual book and I can be more accurately critical.

Yes, exactly! I kind of feel bad sometimes, because people who read my stories right away don't get as crisp a version as those who discover it a week or so later. I think my record for editing after posting was with "Sam Is..." which I found myself making word changes a month after the fact. :P

I feel you. I have to force myself to stop editing-after-publication. One week and that's it. Done and done.

Move on, and know that you've learned and your next piece will be that much better! (Hear that, self? Move on!)
