“I don’t think many writers like their best-known piece of work, particularly when it was written a long time ago.” — Lillian Hellman

were you distracted again lol?

that's a good quote

it feels cringe to read what you wrote just like your past actions in memories are often cringe

Sometimes.

It's definitely true of the author of A Clockwork Orange. He wrote so in the forward of one of the editions

The things I've written that are cringy to me were cringy at the time. Nothing I've had published bothers me in the least, save one I wish I'd expanded more.

There's just one particular chapter that I wrote that I cringe at but I know I can't rewrite it better

cringe because I don't know how to write romantic scenes

Maybe it's fine, and you're just too close to it.

too close to what?
