Yep.
I'm trying to work out how this works. Do you enjoy reading your own writing while the project is in progress, and then lose that enjoyment later? Or what? I'm curious because I am my own first judge of my writing, it has to be working for me (when I read back over it as I go), or no one else ever gets to see it.

One of the things I like is being able to read the completed books without feeling obliged to be on the lookout for such things. ... Of course, if/when an error hits you in the face it's not a good feeling. But then I remind myself that even books produced by big publishing for big name authors have some errors sneak through.
