Old stuff is terribly embarrassing. I begin considering anything I've done 'old' after I've looked it over, say, three times. The first time I feel pleased-ish. The second time I see some things I don't like but can deal with. But by the third time argh argh arghity. This is one of those deficiencies I like to label 'artistic temperament' because it's much more flattering than 'anal retentiveness.'
