This one truly reaches me this morning, Jen. I find that my focus on the present provides a buffer for instances of regret that may occur in the future (or not). This sort of prompt works so well as a AYTL tool.
Hi Jen, that's a touching reflection and nice prompt. When it comes to proofreading, after I am away from piece for a certain time I can't go back, it's like a different person wrote it and I don't want to offend his style decisions.
I think this is a very healthy perspective, Dave!! I get a little neurotic to be honest. But a part of me loves the proofing, too. Ah, the complex relationship between writers and their words.
This is an awesome post, and timely. I have just finished proofreading galleys for my forthcoming novel. What a rush! And yes ... oh, the feeling unfinished business! "I may arrive in Italy with no bras, and Chaos Magic might have a glaring error on page 14." Totally relate, Jen. And I'm so glad S. was in your life.

Enjoy your every presence in Italy!
I hope your moments with loved ones shimmer, Jim.

I am so excited for Sunshine Girl, Nancy! It is an intense and wonderful experience. :) Me too. She was a force of nature. :) xx
Beautiful piece, Jen. ❤️
