I always have to change at least one thing (but usually more). Typos. Missed words. Things that sound just wrong.

I don't have the time (or headspace) to devote to editing on the blog. I have to catch them while I'm in the process of doing the writing.<br />I also don't go back and read my posts once they're published...<br />...unless it's a long time after they're published and I'm trying to remember what I said.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1281469968333860626.post-7955807847953402292018-08-04T11:56:22.533-04:002018-08-04T11:56:22.533-04:00Oh, I do the same.
