A sweet reader wrote this to me today:
Hi Lauren Blue Eyes,
You have a little confusion with names in this
chapter. It shouldn't be Monica in these three
phrases but Simone!!!
What a lovely understatement. I don't have a little confusion with names in THIS chapter. I have a fair amount of confusion with names in MOST EVERY FUCKING CHAPTER!
I swear...I can't seem to overcome this! I think what happens is that when I proof, I do a minor rewrite on a sentence here and there. And when I do that, I'm thinking through the whole chapter, including who is doing what to whom. So, I guess I start on a sentence and then think of something else from the story. I get the idea across, but with a different name inserted.
Of course, there have been a few times when I've substituted my own name for one of the characters' names. That must mean that I'm thinking about the people in the stories doing some of those naughty things to me. Nah...couldn't be!
I'll keep trying. You all make it fun to fuck (up)! LOL
