Huh...

[sleigh]

I'm currently reading the proofs for a book of mine that is going to be re-released (which one? Well, we'll leave that announcement for later...) I haven't read the book since I last looked at the galleys more than ten years ago, so it's almost like reading someone else's work, and it's nice to have a sense that maybe I actually can write... :-) The stuff I'm working on now or have worked on recently is always overlaid with the vision I had for it, with all the drafts and all the stuff I intended for it to say that may or may not actually be in the text -- that makes it difficult to be entirely objective about it.

How about you, other writers? Do you feel as if you have difficulty objectively assessing your own work?
