how much do you proof-read as you are writing vs. proof-read at the end?

i write a lot of my replies in a notebook, and then type them up later. so, i don't do a lot of editing while i write. my notebook makes me look illiterate with all the misspelled words and using the same word twice in one sentence and so on and so forth lol

but when i go to type them up, i edit while i do that!

//giving me access to excel was a terrible idea (<- only got 5 hours of sleep and, instead of going back to bed, has spent the better part of the morning making a draft counter for my thread tracking spreadsheet)

//by far, one of the funniest things about road 96 is that jarod is so obviously a serial killer, yet nobody except the teenage player character seems to notice

stan and mitch say, "there's no way this can be the guy who is hunting sonya bc he's too nice," even tho jarod is only slightly nice in exactly 1.5 of his encounters with the player character. and stan and mitch know that the guy hunting sonya drives a taxi. hell, they even know that he works specifically for happy taxi. and yet, they get face to face with jarod, The Most Obvious Creep In The Universe, and let him go bc he's "nice."

then there's steve, the manager of the motel, who says there are rumors of a serial killer in the area, but they're obviously just rumors. and he stops by jarod's room, finds a random teenager in it, smells burning flesh inside, and somehow finds nothing suspicious about this occurrence at all. he thinks jarod and this completely random kid who got roped into the body cleanup are just... grilling steaks or something... in the motel room...

the one exception to the player character, the one npc who picks up on jarod's Fermented Piss Vibes, is joe, the owner of palavas, who sees jarod and immediately gets nervous and tells the kid that they had better leave quickly. even tho, ironically, that is the one encounter in which jarod is actually... decent to the player all the way through.

then, in every other encounter, the player (understandably) tells jarod, "you're scaring me," "i'm uncomfortable," "get out of my car," etc.

it's just so funny how canonically nobody else notices.

//love how i started out being like, "yeah, bob winters was exploitative, but he wasn't a pedophile or anything." and then i listen to him call a 14yo boy "practically an adult" and i'm like 😬 VERY NONCE-Y. CAN'T WAIT FOR JAROD TO BLOW YOUR BRANIS OUT.
