It's to be admired the number of wirting projects you have on the go, including the ones you go back to. Going back on some of mine, they deserve the delete button in favour of concentrating on those with some kind of potential.

It's funny to go back to things we once wrote and felt so confident about.

I read my childhood and early adulthood journals to write my first novel, and it was challenging, but after eight manuscript versions, I will publish it next year.

Currently, I'm translating it into Spanish, and it sounds weird again...

In summary, the challenge never ends; we just learn to live with it :)

And in a way that's good, isn't it? I think knowing everything we write could be just a little better - and that nothing is 'perfect' - is one of the drivers to keep us going.

I fully agree. None of us is perfect, so why should our writing be? Always learning, always evolving :)
