I shouldn't re-read my own stories. This used to be the one story I was really really proud of and now I can't stop noticing all the misspellings, the punctuation and grammar errors, the horrible cliche's ...
It happens as we mature as authors. I gave feedback to an author for a story they wrote over four years ago and had forgotten about. It had spelling errors and major grammar problems. They weren't as happy with it now as they were then... (And I felt silly when I realized how long ago they posted that story.) I have stories I wrote four years ago that are truely horrid... that at the time I thought were beautiful... and one is listed at God Awful Fan Fiction ()it's so bad.
I know, I know. Thing is, that was written over a year ago, and I've not actually written all that much since then. I feel like I'm slipping, like I'm gonna end up like my mother; an ex-writer.
Sad that at 20, my greatest fear is still the same as when I was 10: to one day wake up like my mother. :(
