“But there’s nothing to do here!”

Exactly the point.

As in Zen, enter the Void. And then delight in the richness of it.

Regarding flaws in my published work

Many of the typos are a consequence of deep revisions.

Blame revision, too, for the times when subject/verb or the time tenses don’t match, especially when a novel shifted direction after an earlier draft.

The fact remains that for a writer, the work is rarely if ever actually finished.

It’s like an itch, actually.
