I have to say the news from
lovedraughts that the
sshg_exchange will start posting on September 6 excited me more than Pottermore ever dared to try. Being my first time, I'm so jazzed at the idea of all these lovely fics and art. I am very grateful for the Mods at the exchange and all the hard work they've done on our behalf. I'm also blown away on a weekly basis at how comprehensive lovedraughts are in putting together all the lovely SS/HG news. I love my fandom brothers and sisters.
I am also grateful I start my first day training tomorrow. Yes, after four months of doing nothing but walking from the kitchen to the writing nook and back, I'm starting my new job, and I'm thrilled and nervous and excited. The lady who will be training me personally got me this job, and she so wants me to be successful.
I have spent the better part of two weeks working on one particular fic, and I'm proud of it. It started off as a little whispered smut fic from my Muse one morning, and by the end of the day, I'd written over 6K words on it. I spent the next week fleshing out his original 6K words. Now it is over three times that length, and a work that has stretched me in a couple of directions. I love this exercise I was given to make me better and to help me improve.
What a week. I got a job, lived through my first earthquake tremours, received a lovely dead bird from my cat who promptly yakked most of it back up on my laminate floor, we are thankfully too far south and inland for the storm to hurt us, and the Hubs has a job lead as well. Life is not too shabby...
But the Exchange!!! I'm go excited I can't wait! Fics! Pics! Arts! Can you say Happy Little Fangurly??? Yes, that would be me!!!! Big hugs to all that needs 'em.
I've been given some steller ones this week from y'all. All the best to those caught in the path of Irene. My heart and wishes are with you.
