I've gone over the edge

Sep 04, 2007 23:34

Clearly, I need more attention in my life. Or at least more cute icons. Yes, dear friends (I have 3 now; go me!), I ponied up for a paid LJ account for my writing. Which is sort of absurd, when you realize I've had a personal LJ for four years and only got a paid account in April.
Yes, I am serious about writing - scarily serious for me. We'll see how long it lasts. School starting in a few weeks will probably seriously cut in to my writing time, although I will be taking a composition class. No, I don't intend to become a professional writer. I have to admit that I've gotten a big thrill out of realizing that complete strangers have read something I've written, and have actually liked it. A couple of nice comments is not exactly the same thing as a Pulitzer, but it feels nice. And weird. Really weird. (I'm not discounting the fact that friends have also read my work and liked it; friends have been invaluable in getting me to write, and I thank them for it!)
Anyway, now that I've given my Oscar acceptance speech, I'd just like to note that tomorrow night (or earlier, if I can swing it), I will be posting the long-awaited "Forgive." Okay, maybe not "long awaited," but one of my betas did ask me when I was going to post it already! I hope it also gets a warm reception, although it's certainly not as funny/cute as "More Emotional Teaspoonry." We'll see!

forgive, more emotional teaspoonry, writing
