I love when you discover another fangirl. Years ago when I was just really starting fanfic, I discovered my best friend had been reading in that fandom, and she'd read my stuff with out knowing it was me, it made us even closer.
OMG, that's so awesome!! Same thing happened with me and my sister. I discovered fanfic and was telling her all about it - 'oh people write stories about hobbits!' and going on and on explaining it to her and then a few months later she gave me a fic she wrote and when I was like, "Omg, this is so good," she took me to the computer and showed me...she had a website! She'd been in fandom for years, starting with The X-Files. By this time she had begun to write and was into hobbits and I had actually read one of her fics already and it was like one of my fav fics and I was like, "Wait, you're Baylor?! I love you!" For real.
Everyone knows about my original stuff now, everyone who matters. My mum's an old school Catholic lady, but she brags about it, she was at the hairdressers today and she told all the old ladies. I mean my family used to wonder what I did all night, now they know I'm often writing, they'll wish me luck, ask what I'm working on, it's great.
Dude, that's amazing! So many people would turn their nose up at what you do or try to talk you into writing 'real' books and that your family are not ANY of those people, that they are so supportive, is stellar! It makes me all happy inside to know there are such supportive, open-minded people like that out there, to back our writing, you know.
side note, I'm no therapist, but if you have anything you just need to talk out, or vent about, you have my email, use it any time.
I appreciate it! You should follow my disability Tumblr - Disableism (http://disableism.tumblr.com/) and submit things for Complaint Of The Day and give me good stuff to reblog on EDS. Most of the stuff I talk about with my anxiety counselor is like, "Okay, I had a weird pain in my side the other day and my brain suddenly thought, 'Oh, this is a sign you are going to get really sick and end up in the hospital' and before I could tell my brain to shut up, it was off and running with all of the things that could go wrong in my body. How do I deal with that?" So, health anxiety issues and coping techniques.
hopefully it was guests you really liked, I hope you guys had fun and you didn't push yourself too much, I know how that goes.
It was one of my oldest fangirl friends and her son, so yes, def people I was happy to have!!!! And I was very good about not pushing myself. I went to bed one night while everyone was all still up doing stuff together and I was pissy in my room because I could hear they were watching a movie that I love and I was missing out, but I just HAD to get into bed. So I did. Being responsible sucks. 80
