Happy Tuesday to You!

I was about to write a different title for this post, but I just got a text from Iceberg (mmmm....milkshakes) which began "Happy Tuesday to you!"

Is it a little sad that I've only gotten three texts thus far today, and one of them is from Iceberg, reminding me that it's $5 combo Tuesday? Perhaps, but I think I'll keep living and see what happens.

The truth is, as you know, I'm pretty bad at keeping up with the blog. Now that I'm back in work and will be starting school in a few days I don't foresee it looking up much. But perhaps I'll have a change of heart and become a consistent writer.

Maybe.

Life has been crazy this summer. A trip to Georgia, and then to Mexico were kind of the highlights, prefaced by a week in Wyoming for Trek, and followed up by a last minute trip to Cedar City, getting a new job, hanging out with friends, and getting ready to move to college.

Which I'm doing tomorrow, btw. I've been trying to get everything I want squeezed into a few boxes, and I'm currently legitimately concerned about whether or not everything is going to fit. As my mother told me though, where there's a will there's a way. And there is a will baby. There is a will.

As for the usual things that come up in my life-dancing and writing- there's been less of that than normal, but it's picking back up. I didn't have any dance classes this summer, but I did hang out with dance friends a whole bunch, they're kind of like a second family. I'm also in two dance classes this semester, and have three dance auditions next week, which hopefully will result in more dancing! Woo!!

Writing, on the other hand, has experienced a sharp uptake in the last week. What prompted the jump in writing activity? Quiet, children, and I shall tell you. I was going along, minding my own business, living my life, going to work, la dee dah, when I received a message from another member on fanfiction.net. The message, while meant well, was asking if she could write one of my most popular stories for me since I hadn't updated it in quite some time. That question sort of horrified me. I thought to myself, You can't just take my story!! That's mine! I have poured my soul into this! And so I kindly replied, you know, thanks for the offer, but I'm actually going to update today. So I did.

The result?
As posted on facebook, because I'm very proud of myself, views came pouring in. In the last month alone I have received over 11,970 views from the USA, and over 15,000 views in total.

That's a thrilling feeling, knowing SOMETHING I'm writing is reaching people. Even if it's just a silly story, there are people out there who care about what I have to say, and that's enough to make this a happy Tuesday.
