I just had a comment on Amazing Women, Saving the World" and I had to go back and read it because I couldn't even remember much about it, even though it was only three years ago. And you know what? It was damned good and I was really impressed that I wrote it. I don't even really remember the process of writing it, which is fair enough considering what else was going on in May/June 2020, not just Covid but my Dad being ill and eventually dying and all the upheaval and stress and awfulness.
Do you ever get that? Look back on something you've written and being unable to imagine being able to write something that good? I've hardly written anything this year, not even role-playing, what with recovering from surgery (hysterectomy, in January) and dealing with my getting divorced and trying to get the house ready to sell and trying to sell my mum's retirement flat so we can get a place together, and meanwhile trying to keep WombleKnits (my eco knits store) going and look after my son and cat and, occasionally, myself. I miss writing. I just don't have the brainspace these days. I hardly ever even go on Dreamwidth any more, though I guess I will once Doctor Who starts up again, eventually. And once I finish Good Omens. I'm really behind on all my viewing. There just aren't enough hours in the day.
But it's nice to be reminded that I have been a good writer. And may be again, one day when I have more space in my life. :-)
