God, yeah. Especially when they were written when you were 14 and consistently sleep-deprived. I mean, I don't regret it or plan to throw any of my old crap away because I think all that experience helped me into becoming the writer I am now, but it's 500% cringe-worthy to look back on a version of yourself that didn't understand contractions and basic grammar. Hell, certain characters' names were made due to misspellings that my wee little self didn't know were wrong and I just, you know. Kept them, lol.
