Yup I am. I am deleting my old stories on here. Although I had fun writing them, I cringe whenever I read them now. Obviously I have grown a lot as a writer since then. Which is a good thing, but I do still cringe whenever I read. For that reason, I am slowly deleting all my old stories on here. I do not want that stuff to represent me anymore. While deleting (which was suprisingly hart, emotional wise) I did save the content on a google doc. This way, when I am old and gray (I'd love to turn grey!) I can read the old stories and smile with sentiment. Maybe it sounds weird, but I can't wait for the day that I read my current stories and think: Well, this wasn't all that good either...
It will mean I have progressed as a writer again which is only good. My insecurities about my writing get the best of me sometimes. (especially when I read some of the amazing stuff that is on here). It can get to a point that I do not want to write because everything I come up with feels wrong. It never seems good enough..
Once upon a time, I write a chapter and think; wow this might actually be good. Which is not common, but it happens. Than I read one of my co-writers and I think; ok maybe it wasn't that great after all.
No blame for my co-writers though. They are so good and so talented. Only praise to them!
Well, I guess I'll stop about here. I just wanted to say that I deleted 'Rock bottom and below' and my other old stories will gradually dissapear too. For people reading 'Underestimate me.' or 'When the going gets tough' no worries. Those will definitely still be online when I am done with cleaning up.
Bubye!
