As you maybe know, I am a writer. Well, now after 5 years of hard work -that is
to say, in the free time my five jobs let me for MY business- I am finishing a
huge novel and even after so many revisions aliong the years and rewrittings and
fixings I still find "bugs". Nevertheless, and this is the point for your
consolation, each time I find a bug I am very happy because that means the novel
has inmediately got better after amputation of it. The terrible thing would be
to work in your stuff and NOT discovering anything wrong. That's moment for
really to get worry.
Cheers
Fernando
