it's a bit surreal, like i could be reading anyone else's story.

Sometimes, though, one does reread and realize that something happened that one is glad of. One is tempted to say; "That's pretty good, I wonder who wrote that?" For the reader reading is never the writer writing. One always comes to one's work as a stranger.

the happy tingle that makes me want to keep it just before i realize that i in fact have the hard copy on my own floppy disk isn't bad either.

this could get addictive...
