jackDo you like reading your own writing?
My LJ or newsgroup comments always seem a bit pointless. My diary LJ entries show fairly well what I was doing at the time. Emails I sent generally turn out to be nice enough, but I was never as polite as I thought I was in official emails, and in social chatty emails the contact was nice but the content not as urgent as we thought at the time :)
In essays I generally find I may have been interesting, but wasn't putting over a thought as coherently as I might, more writing a connected series of things.
But in fiction or witterings of any sort, I always find myself much more entertained than anyone else ever seemed, as if I were narcissisticly my own favourite author.
See this post about a dangerous stellar radiation source. No-one else commented at all, but *I* thought I brought it off very well :)

Date: 2007-06-04 03:57 pm (UTC)Amusingly I was reading an old discussion on toothywiki once, and was about to add my opinion when I realised the next person had beautifully, clearly and wryly made exactly the points I was about to make. Gosh, thought I, only to be even more amazed to get to the end and find out it was written by me a year or two previously.
So yes, I love my own writing even when I don't know it is my writing.
That's not to say your writing isn't good though!
