Buncha perverts...
This whole writing experience has been weird and wonderful.
As most of you probably know, I had never written any fiction, ever, really, until Dark Muse hit me like a ton of bricks two days before SB's birthday in April, 2004. Just a little over a year ago.
Now, though I suffer from bouts of "everything I write is the same" type self criticism (Did you realize that Possession really IS Arena, after all, and also, that Arena is just the Dark Muse scenario sneaking up on you slowly, with a big, bloody sword? Stupid brain.), I can't imagine NOT writing, even though there are days when I really, really do wish for the brain-ectomy.
Anyway, that's the weirdness.
The wonderfulness is y'all.
Thoughtful comments that cause me to rethink where my plots are going. People who are enjoying my story so much that they come up with their own ideas about plot and character. Long, delighted feedback and short supportive comments (or squeeful ones). People who beg for more.
And I believe my favorite quote to come out of this experience to date was angiepen's comment on the last chapter of Possession:
That has been running around my head all weekend. Just one of those funny, glowy things.
I call myself an attention whore, but there are reasons I've become so addicted to it!
The Husband once, a long time ago, referred to my friends on LJ as "your loyal perverts." I hope you are not offended that I have come to think of you all very fondly under that title.
And last, but not least, thank you so much, alpha_strike for your help with the naming problem. I didn't go with Seekay, but rather Seejay, much to my own amusement - and her's. :)
