Well, isn't
this strange?
I always find the writing I do to be a hell of a lot more interesting (and more bearable as well) when it's been forever since I've read it. Reading my stuff a year later is like opening a good book and reading the prologue and getting really excited by it.. then realizing there isn't any book; it's just a prologue. Bummer.
Course, reading my writing just after I've written it makes me feel like a pile of garbage. Specifically a stinky pile of garbage with nothing good to say. This is most likely the reaction most people share and I will keep that in mind in the future.
