I've written a poem, and a couple stories/ novel length things and I'd say I'm happy with all of them.
The poem I look back on and think it's a bit pretentious but it's a poem and I think all poetry suffers from a bit of "I have the best words" type pretentiousness. It's deeply meaningful to me and perfectly captures the snapshot of the moment I wrote it so overall I'm happy it exists even if only me and one other person have ever really experienced it.
Story wise, I have a couple of fanfics I'm varying levels of proud of. There are two unfinished ones for which I'm reserving judgement, two I'm exceedingly happy with and then there's six or seven more that I'm like "yeah, those may not have been great but they were definitely good"
The one unfinished project is a trilogy I'm two books into and I think this project will either be my Magnum Opus or a gargantuan effort for little pay off but I won't know the answer for another year or two.
Luckily, I enjoy the actual writing part so whether I'm happy with it as a whole doesn't really matter right now but I hope it turns out to be something I'm proud of. If anything, I'll have to admire the effort I've put in but I hope I can also admire the finished product at the end.
