Dang. I keep peeking back in hoping there's more Hermanos story and it's still not here.
I'll work on that patience thing.
Mal: Zoe, why do I have a wife? Jayne: You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like its raining. How come you got a wife?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Sorry 'bout that. It has been a busy day. If all goes well, I'll get some more writing time tonight (once I get a good look at that lunar eclipse).
I'm quite chuffed and a wee bit embarrassed by the positive feedback. There's part of me that's all whee!! and part of me that is waiting to be found out as a fraud. Does anyone else ever feel that way?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Anne, oh yes, about the 'they must mean somebody else' feeling.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
I love it, Anne. I'm tempted to start watching the bloody show so I can get the deal on these characters.

You mean the "stop while you're ahead, you've got better things to do wtih the next year of your life than start another multi-part novel length thing, even if you have been planning it from the start. You'll never match what you did before, go out on top before they find out it's all been a very lovely fluke and they should really just ignore the man behind the curtain" thing?
No, not at all t tugging the curtain a little closer around the mystic control center and hoping the pyrotechnics distract them

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Odd.
I never feel like a fraud, not about writing. About other things, yes; at the moment, for instance, fraud-parenting looms large.
Not about writing, though. If a piece sucks, it sucks; so what? Write another.
To me, a fraud indicates dishonesty.

You'll never match what you did before
This. I know this well.

The biggest thing that keeps me going is the knowledge of all those kick-ass stories out there on the net that never got finished for some reason or the other. I'm not going to join them. I don't want people thinking "Yeah, Two Ladies of Quality, nice stuff, though I wish she'd finished that one piece. I wonder what happened to her?"
