...and get over yourself**.
Thank you SO much for your super-sweet comments, tweets and emails. It really does mean a lot and it makes what feels like baring my soul just a little bit easier.
The jig is up though. I've been busted, found out, by people who know me. A chain of events involving Twitter, Penguin Books, Lolita***, Mel and Morgan (people who know-me-know-me) all lead to me being outed. When I saw that they were following me, I seriously ran into the bathroom, hopped around for a bit, doing that silent screaming thing (all kinds of profanities). After that, I thought Feck it and sent out an email. Only to three people, but it's a start.
And seriously - your comments have made my weekend. Honestly.

Feeling buoyed by all of this support, I felt inspired enough to do some actual writing - as opposed to saying I'm going to write and then feel guilty when I don't, like usual. I finished my synopsis and I'm probably three-quarters happy with it. Needs some... more, but that's okay. That will come.
So thanks, thanks, thanks. Really and truly. You've made me feel all warm and fuzzy and stuff.
*Lovely advice from Lisa
**Lovely advice from all of you (you may not have actually said it, but I read between the lines. It's okay).

***I blame you, Lolita, for all of this. All of it.
I'm sorry I outed you. It was an accident, I swear!
ReplyDeleteOn the bright side, Morgs and I have been able to read your(amazing)writing. :)
P.S I hope Lolita was a good read (I have only seen the movie)

ReplyDeleteThanks Lolita... I owe you a lot ;)
ReplyDeleteMel: No, don't be sorry!! It's been great, really. And now I have no excuses for sharing. I needed someone to force my hand. You did a good job! Lolita is taking some perseverance, but I haven't had a good chunk of time to read so won't judge it too much just yet.
ReplyDeleteHabebi: Thank you so much! I really, really appreciate it :)
Morgan: Haha! Damn, bloody bloody Lolita.
