Wading in your pride is like wading in your own piss, though. It's warm and comfortable, but at some point, you realize that even though it's part of you, it's gross and not very healthy. If I may "Catch-22" this statement. Even if you may see it as gross and unhealthy, it's still a part of you and to try and divorce yourself isn't always the best option. Embrace it. (Embrace the piss? This metaphor isn't really working out for me...) Realize that it is a part of you and improve on it. Take what you like and strengthen it. Look into what you could have done better and try to improve on it.

Side note: I have my first story saved on my computer (from over a decade ago...) and I look at it every now and then (Usually weeping at the fact I didn't using punctuation, form paragraphs, made horrible malapropisms, and nonsensical plot points) and see how far I've come and how far I still need to go. Welp never-the-less, glad to hear you're back and interested in writing again. Always glad to receive new well-written stories.
