Gratitude Catch Up and Yes, A Meme
Aug. 18th, 2011 11:55 pmI'm grateful for the tearful phone call I received from
stgulik last night, telling me how happy she was with my latest chapter of LML. I was hoping for contentment, but tears of joy - BONUS.
I'm grateful for the beautiful message I received from
zanzi2162. You will never truly know how blown away I was by it, or how grateful I am, cause it was a magical moment.
I am grateful for having this opportunity while I'm not working to write my ass off. It has been unadulterated bliss - like making love, to be able to write all day if I choose. Bliss. Most of it you will never see - well not without major beta work.
I'm grateful for my flist and my dear friends, which isn't new, but bears repeating. I'm grateful for the
fresme community, which has welcomed me and inspired me so much. I'm grateful for the
sshg_exchange, which can't come soon enough - I'm just looking so forward to everyone's gifts.
I give hugs and kisses to all who wants and needs them, and extras for those who crave them.
Oh, and this Meme. *Sigh* I'm such a Meme whore:

Date: 2011-08-19 12:58 pm (UTC)I'm so pleased my little note made you so happy, Teddy. (Although you could have heard me SQUEE right back at you I'm sure because I GOT MAIL FROM TEDDY RADIATOR OMG HOW'S MY BREATH AND IS THERE ANYTHING IN MY TEETH?!) I had wanted to write to express my appreciation for a long time, but reading your novel just clinched it. We need a new term in fanfiction, though--I'm a fangirl's fangirl. There's no word for that is there? Hmmm.....

I was just letting you know that there is no Flash player on the iPhone. I think that is the main reason my Hubs wanted an Android phone instead, too. And why he insisted I get one, too.
