Birthday thoughts and writing and such

So yesterday was a big birthday for me. (If you don't already know how many years I won't bother you with the details:) I had thought at one time I would get all angsty and depressed about it, but then I get all angsty and depressed about everything, so I decided to try something new. I had hoped I would use this birthday as a nudge to get my life more in line with what I want my life to actually be, and... it's happening!
 I'm now into my second month of writing my online story (it's by way of being a non-publishable romance fanfic, too specialized for most tastes but it's terrific practice for me). And I now have 9 official fans, and only one of them is someone I knew previous to starting all this. And in September I'm doing a 'write a novel in a weekend' challenge and am super excited about that - I have designated my birthday money to buy a laptop so I won't have to spend three days writing my novel by hand!
