Help to understand japanese sentence


> 私自身、自分の作ったものは先ほど書いたようにどんどん忘れていってしまうけれど、大好きで読みついできたよその作者の小説についてならば

  1. 先ほどの意味？ → long time ago/just now?

I tend to forget what I write just now/long time ago?

  2. 私 → author?

  3. What does よそ mean?

読みついできたよそ → 読みついで/きた/よそ？

  4. While reading =読みついで？




先ほど書いたように is translated as "as I wrote earlier".

読みついできたよ/その作者の小説 means "I have read novels written by the author".

読みついできた/よその作者の小説 means "novels written by other authors which I have read".
This seem to be correct according to your below comment.

読みつぐ means " to read in succession".
