I really wish I could write at the moment. I want to write Spooks, Merlin, even Torchwood, but I can't quite find the words. I know - my life, so hard. I just wish I could find the right words. Maybe I need a new fandom or something - just something to get me moving again. I spend too much time re-reading stuff I wrote a while back and thinking about it. Mostly I like it, but there's always stuff I would change. I don't think it's helping a lot.

yes, this, me too, except it doesn't upset me or make me nitpick to read my old stuff. i kind of get all yearny; like, wow, i wrote that. i could PUT WORDS TOGETHER.

not to say that my old stuff is perfect; it's so not and I do notice how I could have fixed this or that, but it doesn't worry me.

I miss writing. I don't know what's wrong with me.

I always have this slightly guilty feeling when I read my own stuff and think ooh, that was good - sensations of Mum saying "Don't be vain!" in the back of my head :-)

I don't think it's vanity to accurately evaluate one's own work. I mean, if it's good, it's good! If it's not it's not.

I think you have to know when it's good in order to rewrite your own work, for example. To revise well.

But then, I don't do much guilt, so there is that, LOL.

True. I guess it's always hard to be objective about your own work - that's why comments are so nice to get :)
