Wow.
Why Couldn't I Beat her now has over 300 views and twenty thumbs up. I haven't even counted how many folk have fav'd it.
I am happy about this :)
That little one shot is now my most popular story. Might have to do more of them like that when I get home.
I enjoyed writing it, and I've been lucky enough to have it critiqued by one of the best writers on the site. Not all of it was flattering admittedly, and that did sting my pride a little. But I made the effort to be impartial, and realised that it's a good thing. I mean, how else do we find out we're not doing something right, or that we can do it better without the odd correcting word? Best thing was, he took the time to actually teach a little, which I think was very kind of him.
Besides, growing a thicker coat won't do any harm.
In other news, Hearth's Warming went well. My nephew has been running me ragged and though I like spending time with my brother and his family, the last two weeks have seen the novelty of sleeping in the lounge on a sofa bed wear thin. I'm missing my personal space, my stuff, my own ground.
And peace and quiet. Something a certain six year old nephew knows nothing of...
Home soon though. Then i'll see the sea and horizon again.
