keilissBeltaine was 'officially' celebrated last weekend, but today I took time to light a small fire and perform a little personal ritual, which I really enjoyed.
I am going to try and update this journal daily. It will be good discipline and "they" say you should write something every day, no matter how uninspired---whether or not anyone ever reads it is secondary.
Talking of which, I am in the final stages of polishing part 1 - which will now have to get a proper title - and am about to go and beg some one to please, please beta it for me. I'll admit I am quite pathetically nervous.
I have written fanfiction, predominately slash, for my own pleasure, since long before I knew that there was a name for it or that there were plenty of others doing exactly the same thing - only they were sharing the results. I have crawled unknowingly through a variety of fandoms, writing in longhand on notepads, typing on a manual typewriter, sometimes simply unwinding a script in my head for the fun of seeing where these characters would go if I just let them run. I was playing with the lives of the characters from Lord of the Rings long before PJ gave them faces, I have an endless (and beginningless) story on my hard drive which can best be described as an elf- slash soap opera.I will never not do this. However, sharing what I have been doing is different. Sharing is SCARY.
