3 Things
Sorry that this one will be mostly based on fandom stuff.
1. Posted the first chapter of my new fanfic about 6 hours ago and the reception has been great! Lots of reblogs with good comments on Tumblr, 2 reviews already (one on Ao3, one on ffnet), 3 bookmarks across both sites, 14 kudos. It's just so good to have affirmation that I can write! I don't think I mentioned that the new fic focuses on two pairing in the fandom: my OTP (who are both minor characters, so it's not that popular of a ship), and the pairing that seems to be the one that's most popular with fans. I did not include the popular pairing just to get reviews, but I have to say I'm so glad to think that my previous works probably didn't get as much traction just because my OTP just isn't as popular. I can write! :)
2. Also, apart from that, I'm at 18,000 words and the writing is still going so well. I'm really pleased with it. And - my beta has been awesome!
3. And one more cool thing. I mentioned that I had done some beta testing for someone else, who gets a lot of reviews and kudos. I asked her to make cover art for my fanfic....and she did! And it's really good. I'm grateful to her, and it also suggests that perhaps my previous stuff didn't do as well because it just didn't have cover art and such.
4. Non-fandom stuff: fun game night yesterday and Scrabble day with Ann today; when I went to the Veggie Grill opening on Thursday, their register was down so I got lunch for free; and I took a coworker to a vegan place on Friday and she loved it.
