Birthday musings and milestones · 4:19am Jul 11th, 2014
Whelp, it's that time of year again... only I don't think I've ever actually mentioned it here before. Yeah, it was my birthday today. I had a pretty lousy day today, all told. I'm not going to get into the details, since honestly they'd probably sound pretty petty, but suffice it to say that if I hadn't already made it thirty-one years without drinking, I might be tempted to start.
Meanwhile—as if for the occasion—Sharing the Night has... well, almost reached 4,000 favorites. That's... a lot of people who, even if they aren't all still around, at one point liked my story enough to want updates. I try not to think too much about my story's popularity; both it and I certainly have a long way to improve, and I can only hope that I can finish it up to everyone's satisfaction when the time comes. Still, it's good to know that I've made some people happy.
Sadly, not much to add on word-count for chapter 12. After banging out the majority of the chapter in a short time, I got a little burnt out and needed some time away from it to see it clearly again. I'll be picking it back up soon, though. I don't want to go two months without an update, especially when the one I have is already bursting at the seams. It'd be really cool to maybe post a double chapter...
Wish me luck.
Good luck and Happy Birthday! Make this year a good one!
I wish you all the luck, and hope tomorrow is much better!
Happy birthday!
Sucks to hear you had a lousy birthday. Hope things pick up for you tomorrow.

Good luck! And happy birthday.
Well, I'm sorry that your birthday didn't go well. I'll be honest, for the last several years, I've just tried to make my birthday as unrecognizable as such as possible. Which is to say, aside from perhaps treating myself to a nice dinner somewhere, I generally don't do anything to recognize the "event" at all. In the end, it's just another day, right?
As far as your 4000 favorites are concerned, first off—congratulations! That's a lot of people your story has reached. And secondly, though I can't speak for all of them, I know I'd sure be happy to see StN back on my unread favorites list. But, it'll come when it'll come, and we'll be here to greedily consume it when it does.
Happy birthday!
Best of wishes to you, and may hellfire rain upon your enemies!
Happy birthday!
Best of luck. Actually the big one is how many followers you have... 894 is way up there for an author with a single story no matter how good.
