And, as egotistic as this sounds, I read mine again every once in a while -- and I'm usually impressed at how "better than I remembered" they are. Yes, I am vain. *shugs*
Oh, I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that. I'm not vain. There really are much better stories than mine. But I wrote what I wanted to see happen, so I guess it is natural that I should enjoy reading it.
I do that too . . . only when I re-read my stories, I tend to get ideas for re-writes.
