I'm currently reading through Call Me Cyli from start to finish in order to freshen up on the plot and everything written so far to continue writing the next chapter ('tis been a very long time since I last read this fic in full. Last update was in 2024.)
I'm constantly going through two singular emotions while reading my own writing.
This face, when reading chapter 1 and 8, and finding that the writing holds up surprisingly well.
And then just, the rest of the chapters, this face. Only this face.
Guys when were you going to warn me of all the typos 💀 and the redundancies 💀💀
I mean it's not bad or a severe amount, but dang with all the rigorous beta reading and spellchecks I used to do you'd think I'd have picked up on them XD
It's very eye-opening to look back on one's own writing from a few years ago. Looking at the fic with fresh eyes made me see where my strengths are and what parts I could still work on, like a few odd narrative inconsistencies that don't seem obvious at first until you look at it from a distance. Eh, it's doesn't warrant a rewrite at least.
