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 ...

I agree with you about the "genius" that makes us write - that creative spark is profoundly valuable to me and I miss it terribly now that the menopause has robbed me of it. Although I am slowly stumbling through some fic writing now, so maybe it'll come back. It's been deeply important to me my whole life. It is, however, separate from my evaluation about the quality of my writing as compared to writing that I consider excellent.
