nnyI just spent the day at a conference for my course, and I'm really glad I went. I mean, I resented the early start, and I was all grouchy, but the lectures were interesting, I got free tea, coffee and lunch, and *during* lunch my personal tutor came and sat at our table. She was absolutely lovely, and I now feel ashamed that I've barely spoken to the woman. She was genuinely interested in what I had to say, and she wants to see some of what I've written. Now I have to see if I have anything suitable. *g*
The best part was that the numbers steadily depleted throughout the day, so there was plenty of buffet food (and they provided boxes if you wanted to take any home... result!) and when it came to the wine there was far too much. So, slightly pissed now. :D
So, yeah. All good. I have to start writing original fic again, I think. I'm making no progress within fandom, and I guess I've lost that feeling that I *have* to be writing all the time. I've kinda... I dunno. I don't feel the need to prove myself, which is just as well considering how little I write. All the wank and BNF-ness... it all seems so silly. I don't need to write to be liked. And if people feel that I *do*... well, they're probably not worth it.
Like I said, rambling thoughts of a pissed person. Hope no one takes it the wrong way, and if they do, apologies and all. I'm all happy and buzzy. *g*
