Lines Drawn in Starlight

I've seen lots of people complaining about their old works and being all, "oh no, I can't stand looking at it!" I've never understood it, but then I realised it must depend on the moment you've started writing - and whether your writing style changed a lot over the time. Mine hasn't, so when I read my old works, I still "recognize" my own voice. If you write differently now, you feel dissonance and that's why many people don't like looking at their old works. At least that's my theory ;)
