Bad At Apologies

I'm frantically working on scene transitions for the upcoming reading. This involves writing brief little synopses explaining who's who and what's happening in the story before the scenes you'll see at the reading.

In explaining my *ahem* quasi-slightly-autobiographical main character's life as a teenage boy, I meant to write:

"All his life Kit has pretended to be a boy, playing the part in order to survive."

Instead, I wrote:

"All his life Kit has pretended to be a boy, laying the part in order to survive."

Maybe I should have left it as it was. It's funnier. And more accurate.
