Want to know one of the fun things about reading fiction I wrote 3 years ago?  I have no memory of writing it.  None.  So it feels like I am reading someone else's words.  The practical benefit of this is that I feel like I have a more impartial eye to find and fix errors.  The totally wicked awesome part is when I read something I like.  I found myself flipping to the next chapter because I wanted to see what happened next - exactly the kind of 'page turner' I want to write.  So it feels good to know that I actually like some of what I wrote as a reader, not just a writer.

Now then, turning the page because I am on pins and needles to see what happens in a story that I wrote, well, that is a little disconcerting.  But I'm gonna go with genius for now.  Genius!
