>Yet, I can’t escape the fact that it’s better reading than what I write. I mean most obviously: that's because you didn't write it. It has a novelty to it that you don't experience when you write and re-write a story yourself. More importantly though: as G.K. Chesterton supposedly said "Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly". The idea that you shouldn't write because you're not as good as you could be or you shouldn't plink around on keyboard because you can't play Bach is an idea that destroys any human endeavor and all human joy. If they are stories that you will never share: why care about quality; it should be pure self exploration.
