Dense writer; harsh reviewer. I despise revision, as it involves so much re-reading, and too much re-reading makes even the sweetest text taste sour. But I still like to write, and hope to be somewhat active on YWS!
The day, which was one of the first of spring, cheered even me by the loveliness of its sunshine and the balminess of the air. I felt emotions of gentleness and pleasure, that had long appeared dead, revive within me. Half surprised by the novelty of these sensations, I allowed myself to be borne away by them, and forgetting my solitude and deformity, dared to be happy. — Mary Shelley, Frankenstein
