edb:
I'm afraid I am mentally turned on as I write, the pictures conjured up in my feverish brain painting all kinds of pictures as my hands fly over the keyboard; well, hardly flying, more like stumbling actually. God knows how many times I have to proof read, and even then it isn't perfect.
Edb and I must be clones. He expressed my experience perfectly. Like other spanking writers, my stories usually come from my spanking fantasies. My fantasy life is not a totally static thing. If my stories were dated, you would be able to follow my mental journey through various orientations
Judging from their output (DRGrace) some authors must be able to knock out a finished product in one pass. For me, writing and proofreading are an iterative process. I must allow a day or two before proofreading before I can see my mistakes. Then I must wait another day or two before I can read it yet again to see even more errors and to spot excessive wordiness. ...and then I do it again.
Yes, I do admit to reading my own stories. After all, they are based on my own fantasy life.
