Am I?

For those reading my latest, am I posting too many parts too fast? Wondering if I should slow down a bit. I usually post fic only after it's complete, so this serial sort of format is a little different.

I'm very glad I walk to work! Even in the rain when the traffic soaks me.

That's one of the weird things about posting in parts, as opposed to finishing then posting. When the comments drop off, I tend to think it's because the story sucks, so then I start second guessing myself and get to the point where I think I should rush it to a close to save myself the embarrassment of continuing with something dreadful.

I know I should be in better shape. Most of it right now is the stupid heel spur and the tendonitis.

Walking to work would not work--there's an English sentence in there somewhere screaming to get out. I live in Brooklyn, about a mile from the Brooklyn Bridge. I work in Upper Midtown East, on 55th Street. That's about another 10 miles or so. Don't know for sure. It's a twenty minute drive if there's no traffic. If I tried to walk it, I'd probably get there about midnight. You can walk across the Brooklyn Bridge--people do it all the time. For me it's either the express bus, the subway, or the car.

I used to have to take the bus. But when we moved here three years ago, I was suddenly only two miles away! I sure don't miss the bus and the wait and the transfers and running for the bus that came early. But this is CA and people don't get that I walk, even though it's so close.

I feel the same way about lack of comments! I'd think so do most writers, unless they're supremely self-confident. This is a really good story. It's a legitimately truly painful story, and yes, it's going to affect everyone involved in both universes. But I would say that Triona's the living embodiment of 'what doesn't kill us makes us stronger'.

And I'm the exact opposite of self-confident. And thanks so much for listening to me ramble on, I do appreciate it more than you know. You're an excellent sounding board.

Yeah, poor her. I feel so guilty!

Believe me, I love it. When I was younger--well, even now--one of my favorite rest activities is talking story.

Right up there with reading and writing and watching shows I love.

Good to know :)
