I think that my work is going very good as of lately.  I smile at all of the reviews I get for my stories. It really makes me happy to know that people like my work and it keeps me motiviated.  I think that I am improving from when I started writing fanfiction in middle school. No, I don't remember what I wrote in middle school. I think it has been good now. I love my work and I am taking a positive outlook on my stuff. I'm not as sad about the contest as I was. I just have my moments where I feel like an outcast and insecure. We all do. I will continue to write and smile at the reads and reviews I get.
