I've spent a lot of time in the dark but now am in a wonderful place. Some of my old work is almost scary in how sad it was but writing has helped me come out of the dark, so I can't really dismiss where I was altogether. However, I still don't remember writing it.
OK I will say I do remember writing all of my film and TV stuff -- and my mountain of failed pitches -- but I do NOT REMEMBER THAT I WROTE SEVERAL ONE-ACT PLAYS 10 years ago.
I've made it a point to always keep my ideas and notes saved, no matter how bad they are. I recently found full outlines for story ideas from well over a decade ago and have zero memory of writing any of it. Looking at it I'm like "wait, I wrote this??" It's so weird!
