Notes

You know that thing where you read something you wrote a week, or longer, after it was published and you think, “damn, that is good! I wrote that?” and you honestly don’t remember writing something that good but you know it had to have been you because you edit your own material and you know no one changed your words behind your back, but you had been working on the piece for so long that the words on the page became almost invisible and you thought it was shit at the time but published it anyway because you wanted it out of your face and once it was out there, no one commented on it or said anything to you about it, so you figured everyone else thought it was shit, too, but it turns out that it was really good and you shouldn’t be so hard on yourself because you are a good writer?

That thing is the best thing.
