December daily: Ego-reading

china_shop prompts: Do you re-read your own fic for fun? If so, how do you feel about it and if not, why not?

The three days after Christmas are still questionless.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but, yes, I do sometimes re-read my own stuff. Sometimes it's to see if something's still hot or still whatever it is. Sometimes it's to say to myself, "Come on. You can do this, remember?" (That backfires, though, because a finished story either seems completely and quellingly seamless or is riddled with problems that it's too late to fix!)
