Hi!

Question: How long does it take after you've edited and posted a fic to be able to re-read it without feeling like you're going to throw up?

(I'm seriously emetophobic, so typing the words 'throw up' is very hard for me, but no other phrase comes close to expressing my feelings on this matter.)

I post maybe 5%, maybe less, of what I write.

You're hiding away writing?? I wantssssss it. Well, maybe I'm better not reading it, because I would just compare myself and come up short. But I'd love reading your wordcraft, no matter what. Everything you write that I've read has been written by a spirit that is firmly embedded in you, because everything I've read is gorgeously evocative and descriptive and makes me despair of myself.

So there. :P

Isn't it utterly bizarre what I just commented back to you before reading this comment? And you are a kind, kind soul -- and you know how I feel about your writing! good lord -- but I'm going to give all this 95% a locked life and learn to slowly lead into it.
