Have you ever looked back at a chapter you wrote, look at its quality and think "what the fucking shit is this" "which abomination wrote this"

I just did and I wrote this a few days ago

It's much worse when you reread it and think, "Damn, I'm so good at this."

True.

All of the time.

All the time and y'know what, I rewrote my first chapter which was previously of 650 words and now it’s around 2400 words.

Yeah but I just wrote this a day or two ago

Yes, the dialogue was like that spoken by undead.

We are on the same boat then. I guess a lot of people are...

I'm usually very impressed by my older work in comparison to newer stuff, before realising it means that my last two brain cells have bruised even more during in the time between writing that work and the present, and feeling rather sad.

I actually get more enjoyment in a sense that “Dam, I wrote this? Why am I getting excited.” Especially when it’s far back because… I’ve forgotten about it. More points if I really don’t remember.

Sometimes. Sometimes I also like looking at what I wrote. It is entertaining, and I can see how much I improved.

 

[Cosmictapestry]

Yes! I have been staring at the delete button for a while, but I need to download all 100 chapters before doing it. It’s a manual pain.

 

[K5Rakitan]

yes

 

[WeissBlatt]

Only 99% of the time.

I must be lucky, because this never happens to me. Sometimes I get the feeling that it's crap while I'm writing, but when I go back and read the next day, or in a week or a month or whatever, I'm always very surprised at how good it is.

How many words have you written, little grasshoppa?

 

[Anemic_Vampire]

I don't have this weakness, because I almost never write, and when I do, I don't have lots of expectations.
