Do you read your stories?

I spotted an example for the use of narrators or speech-to-text reviews just yesterday on my latest 8,000-word story:

"He came back between Kara legs at the edge of the bed and grabbed her hips."

I read and re-read the story many times making various corrections. But the audio narrator version just didn't sound right until I made those "Kara's" legs.

I read it as 'Kara's legs' before you pointed out the error. I've noticed that I read over other people's errors, as well as my own, if the intended wording is obvious. I use text-to-speech to edit.

So her name isn't Kara Legs? Just kidding.

I don't often read my past work other than to see if I've used a name before. I'm fussy about that, and it's happened. I got three quarters of the way through a book and then found myself globally replacing "Althea" with "Simone." And I liked "Althea" better, dammit.

I was having a bit of a 'tidy up' the other day, and I came across three stories that I didn't remember writing. So I read those. And they were bloody good. I should probably post them somewhere so other people can read them. No rush though.

No, I don't read crap like that!
