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 don't generally count for much, but I'll read you're story.

So you have 1 audience member to start with.

*hugs* Thanks for the vote of confidence, hon. And yes, you count as much as anyone else.
