That moment when you look back at something you wrote long ago, and just laugh because your writing skills have improved so much since you wrote that piece. But you aren't laughing at your past self as mockery. You're laughing because it makes you happy. Because you remember sitting down for hours and writing, working hard and doing your best. You remember erasing, crossing out, changing, scribbling, mumbling to yourself. You remember every moment you spent working on that story. That is something you remember every time you look at the piece, and those memories make you so happy.
That moment when you read something you wrote long ago. The reason you were writing. You remember running off, eager to work on the next bit of the story. You remember feeling special, you remember escaping to another world as the words flew from your pencil to the paper, from your fingers to the keyboard. You will never forget how happy writing made you, and the special feeling it gave you; the feeling you still get when you write. The thing that keeps you writing and thinking and imagining, the reason you have work to share with others here.
That moment when you look back at things posted long ago, not reading them, but the comments by fans and readers. The smile your work brings to others, the smile their kind words bring to your face.
I love you all, dear followers. You keep me writing. Your comments make me smile. You all inspire me. Keep writing and reading!
