Writers work very hard on stories.  Often, we are quite tickled by what we make.  So, when I finish a story, I make sure to sit down in my coziest chair, with my feet up and a soft thistledown blanket draped over me, and read what I wrote for pleasure.  I don’t need to fix or change.  The story is finished.  It is ready to be savored.

And why not display each new story on a shelf, so that I will see my creations often!

New idea:  Writers don’t just write for others.  We write for ourselves, too.  Returning to our own stories again and again can be a real pleasure.
