Definitely, mateychops! I'd like to think I've come a long way from where I began. It's always good to revisit the older work to appreciate the progress.
You hit the nail right in the head there. Whenever I write novels, I do have that pervading want to have my text be studied for years to come, book reports and such haha!
We will never know, is right!
It is, although I only take minutes looking at older work before I run screaming and am really glad that I did actually get a lot better XD
Hopefully it's not quite that bad for you ;D
Hey when you're a rich and famous published author whose books are getting studied are you going to be like that author who secretly attends lectures to see what people are teaching about your books? :D
Oh you know I will! I actually had a similar plan for my first days of teaching in the university, but those plan never came to pass haha!
