mickeymDo you ever go back and re-read a story you've written and wonder who actually wrote that, because you have no memory of the words flowing and making sense the way they do?
Maybe it's getting some distance from the story that makes that happen? I dunno. I've been looking over last year's Big Bang, and while I remember agonizing over parts of it (like the part where OMG AM I EVER GOING TO GET THIS FINISHED), reading it now is like: "...*blink*...I wrote this? Really? When?"
I don't get that with all my stories, but I really feel it with some. Any of the rest of y'all do that/feel that? Or is it just me?
