On reading your own story
So I recently returned to the world of AFF. I haven't been here for the last three years. That being said, I decided to finish writing a few chapters that I started. During that process, I forgot what some of my stories were even about, which is crazy because I wrote them. However, when I figured it out, it dawned on me that I was a pretty good writer. I'm not sure I could say good enough to release a book. But I'm older now so we shall see.
My main point was to wonder if anyone else goes through their old stories and read them. It's a weird experience for me sometimes. It's like I know how the plot goes but at the same time, it feels like I've never read the story before. Which is how I feel with my very first story, Noir. It's a rollercoaster of emotion but also I wonder why I could never just write simple fanfic.
All my plotlines had to be 'the couple never worked out,' or 'the MC has a horrible experience and the love interest does nothing about it,' or in the case of my other story, Jingle, it's 'fans can be scary and try to harm celebrities.'
*Sigh*
