I don't re-read my own writing unless I'm in the mood to beat the crap out of myself, which...yes, I do.
I will pick out every last freaking phrase I hated, still hate with a passion and then beat myself to bits for posting it in the first place. ETA: Then take it down, and never post it again. Done that.
I don't do this to anyone else though, just me. This is why I love reading other people's work and never understand how writers fall so in love with their own writing. THAT really boggles my poor mind.
I'd try to be philosophical and nice about it but that's why you have Ramie.
