As a QiFL and Hufflepup fan, I have to say I'm SO EXCITED. I'm not lying when I say I check at least once every day to see if you've updated, and knowing you're so far along in the writing is a real boost.
Seriously, your writing is magical. It's a little refuge from chaotic and noisy life. Thank you so much. Know that you have the full support of your followers.
And don't let the opinions of those who don't appreciate a good arc for our precious Ginny influence you; you're an amazing writer. Thank you! I'll be eagerly awaiting the update.
Oh my gosh, thank you so much. I am making progress. I wish I were faster. And you don't have to check every day! I can drop another tiny sneak peek when I send the draft off to @honeydukesheroine to beta read. That's usually about week before I post, depending on how many fixes I need to make.
And thank you sooooooo much for the encouragement - getting a salty or borderline abusive review is never fun. It sucks the joy out of the fandom experience and makes it that much harder to show up and write the next chapter.
I have a hard enough time with my inner critic - no one needs to feed or embolden her. She's rabid.
My consolation is +95% of my personal favorite writers - skilled at characterization and deft with conflict and tension, the writers I'm excited about and read over and over again - get a salty, rude, unhinged review now and then. I try to remind myself I'm in excellent company. ❤️
