Ambit 185
My contributor copies arrived this morning – it’s a wonderful cover! I’m going to sit down and read through this issue over the weekend, carefully avoiding my own story. I never read work once it’s published, because until I decide to send it out again somewhere else, I don’t want to think of what I would have changed about it, since I saw the galleys.
It’s a strange thing, sometimes you don’t recognise your own work in writing, but as I’ve read this story in performance, I expect it will be familiar to me.

I don’t read my stuff either. But I think it’s more weird than the wishing I had changed things. It’s almost dead to me when it’s published. As if it only lives for me when I’m writing, editing or trying to find it a home.
Maybe I’m a Surrogate Writer.
