Happy Birthday!

interviews
Done both interviews. No joy. I don't know that I would have been entirely comfortable working at these places. The first group were fairly intense and the second were very cutting-edge and needed someone who was willing to go in there and BS.
So, contract for the moment. I'm kinda glad, actually. The work isn't too hard - or hasn't been so far. I wrote two programs today, very easy. And I wrote on the train in to work and somewhat less on the way home.
I'll finish NaNo, but I think I'm slowing up. The old worry about whether anyone would want to read an original story has reared it's ugly head.
It's scary: having worked with fanfic so long, where you know that someone out there will read it, it's a long, hard, frightening jump to original fic where nobody will read your story unless it's 'good enough'. You don't have a prepared audience, you have to bring them along as you go.
Terrifying. And humbling. Possibly humiliating. And now I have a headache. But dinner is served.

I love background/minor characters. They kick ass.
