Poll-yah!

Note: I was reviewing some old posts about the craft and remembered that I had had some really fun ones in another fandom so I went over there and collected some, and will post a few here. Those who know me know this, but for those who don't: You can say anything in my LJ. If it's offensive you won't get a pass on it, but I censor no one, I ban no one, and I'm not afraid of being corrected or disagreed with. This is unlikely to come up in regard to these writing questions; just makin' the point.

Here's the thing. I re-read my own stuff and I like it, but I don't love it. I wouldn't place me in a list of my favorite writers, or more accurately, in a list of the best fandom writers. So ...

Well, I hope my response didn't sound quite so egocentric as I think it might. But I am tickled when someone recs one of my stories and I do re-read at that point. Sometimes I am pleasantly surprised and think, oh that really did turn out pretty well. And sometimes I groan and think, whyever did I let that one out before its time?

There is always so much more to learn about the craft of writing. I'm not always sure I see that progression in my finished stories, but the only way to improve is to keep on trying!
