It's been fun going through the old stuff, but mostly it motivates me to move to the next thing (and with luck the next level).

But still a welcome and valuable taking of stock, especially when you can look at the auld stuff and say, "It meant everything to me to write this then, but it's not something that would occur to me to write now ... or at least write it this way." It's like the makeshift yardstick of pencil marks on the inside of a doorway, proof that even though you couldn't necessarily feel it while it was happening, you really did grow.

You still wear a toga??? Things like that. But I won't. That would be mean. Your style analogy is a good one, though. While I can still appreciate styles from earlier stages in my life, no way would I return to them, and I suspect the same is (and always will be) true of my writing.

If they fit, they fit. Most often they do not, but even if they do, the styles are, well...dated. You know, I still wear a couple of things I wore in high school. Hmmmm. Ah, well, there are ways in which I don't want to change and apparently never do. But don't tell the fashion police... -- Sully Going back to seminal pieces one has written is like trying on old clothes from high school. If they fit, they fit.
