Revising
I once heard from a teacher in High School that Horace recommended that once you have written something, put it a drawer. After a period of time, take it out and read it again. This helps you look at your writing with a fresh eye and notice the mistakes in composition, grammar and spelling.
Looking at my previous posts now after many months, I see many errors of all types. I started to make changes, but it is pointless to re-edit the form of what contains so little content. I will focus on putting new material up instead of revising old.
In order to pretend to be educated and show off the supposed knowledge I have I could throw in a reference to Lot's Wife or to be non-fundamentalist, Orpheus. I could have done that but I will not. The Horace reference was bad enough. I had to google Horace to make sure I had it right. When I did, I found out he said to not re-read your writing for NINE years. Everyone would probably be better off if I did not put my writing out there for nine more years but I have to do something.
