When I write I giggle constantly.
After going back and rereading a dozen times I have to remind myself how funny I thought it was the first time so I don't cut it.
Dave Barry once said that after he wrote a humor book he could never stand to go back and reread it. Seeing the jokes time and time again became painful.
He described talking about his work in his book tours as like having a giant black beetle shoved in his face and being forced to pet it.
