Happy anniversary to my LiveJournal!

I started this LiveJournal a year ago today, as an early birthday present to myself. Schnoogles go to queerasjohn and heidi8, both of whom encouraged me to start one and offered me a code. I was rather nervous about the whole venture, but excited, too. It has turned out to be an overwhelmingly positive experience. I've made 447 journal entries, posted 752 comments, and received 2230 reply comments. Whew. Most importantly, I hoped that it would get me to start writing again, and it has done exactly that for me.

It's been a pleasure getting to know you all.

Cheers,
Peg

Fame, fan-girls, etc.

I've been thinking about making this entry for a few days. I've struggled a bit over the drafting of it, and I'm not certain I've expressed myself very well and fear I will end up looking like a fool, but oh, well. If I blow it, I suppose you'll forgive me eventually. Here goes.

I've thought about this periodically through the years, throughout my growth as a writer, and it came to the forefront again for me just recently because of some of the replies I received on my entries concerning career envy and my dinner with Pat and Lois.
