Hello?

I've just completed a first draft of a horror novel - 97,000 words in
length. Only problem is, I _hate_ reading my own work! Anyone else out there
have this problem? (I can't even read the stuff [Short stories] I've had
published [Small Press, mainly.]).

Can't help you with the reading of your own material. You have to try be
objective. However, I'm interested in your handle. Jeremiah Harbottle
appeared in all the early Will Hay movies, usually playd by Moore Marrriot.
Is that where it came from?

Yep, it certainly is.

Your the first person to comment. You are allowed to go and watch "Oh, Mr
Porter!" as a prize.

In which case, sir; you are fucked.

Well maybe not, as I've been forcing myself to read the bloody thing. It's
not as bad as I thought a few days ago. I may end up liking this one.
