Thank you :) I know it's silly, but writing when no one reads me always makes me feel sad -- makes me wonder why I bother. But I think that I should try writing for myself again. I did that for NaNoWriMo and it was intensely liberating. I won NaNo for the first time in 4 years! Despire being behind the wordcount for 25 days in the month. So I think there's something to be said here for writing when the urge is here, even if it's just posting on DW.

Thanks for the welcome, and a happy new year to you :)
