[erastes]

I've started to read my flist at last... I know - it's taken me a while, I've still been clinging to underlucius - but I've now bookmarked erastes' friends.

It's just... scary.

Was it so scary when I started off as underlucius? I can't really remember. Probably not, because in that LJ I started with about four friends and here I have loads of "instant" ones, and apart from the people who are here from UL, I don't know anyone.

I was always the kid who would stand and watch at the edge of the playground until someone said hello. As much as I long for literary success I really would hate to get to the stage where I couldn't comment on anyone's LJ or leave comments enabled on my own. That would be pretty sad.

I'll be brave, soon. Really. *watches*

I'm hoping you'll update this journal often with publishing news and also chitchat about writing. ^^; I'm afraid I can't mingle so much in your other journal because of the "fandom gap" (I don't follow HP), and I'm always eager for conversations over original writing/publishing with you and others who've got quite a bit of experience in the field (so far I only have about four or five people on my flist who either write original fics or are actively pursuing publishing... one of them doesn't even talk to me when I comment in her journal *sniffle*).

And pleasepleaseplease edit an anthology!

I certainly will be discussing writing a lot more. I havent' had the guts to do so yet, as it seems that any discussion of "literature" on my other LJ is an admission of wank, but here I shall.

I have a few who are crossing the divide between fandom and original if you want their names?

Oh, that's okay, thanks. I'm uncomfortable introducing myself (or being introduced by a mutual friend) to someone and would rather cross paths with other people the "natural way" (for lack of a better term). ^^;;;;;

My writing circle's small, and I don't mind so long as we communicate with each other (what's worse than a small writing circle is a small writing circle that's quiet). I liken it to a little coffeehouse group. Heh.

Friended you back, thanks!

*is mortified at not friending that journal before*

And I wish she'd edit an anthology too - it would be awesome.

Mebbe you can edit a horror anthology? :D
