Well. Today I completed my first real work, an 80,000 word fanfic that I began writing two years ago. It's not great, and it's not what I thought it would be, but it's complete, and that's more than I assumed I would achieve with it.
If it brings any of you a little bit of happiness, a small amount of distraction, then it was worth every word. That's why I write, and that's why I'm thankful for this platform.
I can finally close the chapter on Restored, while a new one opens with Easier Said, my newest fanfiction venture, now published after months of planning. I pray it, too, brings someone happiness, and again, thanks to all of you for every bit of support. Onward!
