There is truly nothing more exhilarating than rereading old fic notes and going "DAMN this is good."
(That, and also laughing out loud at your own jokes.)
#i talk#fic talk#primordial robot hell#Rereading this exchange between Ratchet and Jazz I wrote ages ago and A) Damn I wrote Jazz so well#B) Jazz and Ratchet's dynamic is so funny#C) This is like PEAK writing why the heck did I never finish this#(I say knowing damn well I was working on this when the pandemic started)#No wonder I got so burnt out#Me working on a fic about Transformers that is a thinly-veiled criticism of politics and a bunch of other social injustices#during a very terrible time for the world with many horrific social and political things going on PLUS a pandemic and lockdown like#''Huh! I wonder why I feel burnt out working on this''#Bruh#The writing style is so good though what the heck. I miss writing like that#I need to reread my older stuff more#I reread a few chapters of ''Change In All Things Is Inevitable'' and it's definitely a bit too long-winded and wordy in parts#but it's still good#Meanwhile this (unfinished) fic is concise well written and funny as heck#and I think I did a better job expressing a lot of these thoughts#Granted I did have the entirety of ''Change In All Things Is Inevitable'' to work on it / figure out the style I wanted for that fic#I definitely want to return to this now this is genuinely really good#and I can see why; even when completely burnt out; I still desperately wanted this fic to be written
