Finished - What I've Lost & Gained From Fandom
Rare Bird - Symphaty. (70s song, rec)
Held back on a rant this morning, and lost my drive. Today I've done two things (thus far): one went well, one went dramatically wrong.
I'm not going to say I don't care, because I'll be worrying till Friday, but - at least it's over now. No matter what, I won't have to do the last anymore. I'm through.
You're all amazing. I'll be back soon. I'm going to work a little harder, and then I'll go to the doctor tomorrow morning (as I promised), and afterwards finish off the final things and then just stop. I haven't read anything for weeks.
GMTH asks what you've gained and what you've lost from fandom - besides friends. The first thing I thought of was how much my writing's improved, and CC - Constructive Criticism, how to deal with it, and how to give it. Its value.
A lot of self-confidence. Core values. Tolerance. I thought I was open-minded then, and I probably was, but wow, when I compare it to how easily I accept and tolerate things now.
Off, now. 11:47.
