Six month anniversary!

[StillStunned]

It's been six months since I joined Lit as a writer (well, the precise date is tomorrow, but today's Sunday and I have more time). So here's where I stand:*

- 19 stories written and published, plus one pending
- 11 red Hs
- 85 followers
- nearly 225,000 views
- 3228 ratings on my stories
- 991 reactions to comments on these boards (and only one angry face - thanks, @JohnSm123!)
- too much time discussing and joking in the AH with some insightful and friendly people
- the best time ever writing and posting my stories

Thanks to all my readers and fellow authors!

* Data don't include the 21 stories I published here that I'd written before I joined and have since taken down.

Congrats! 19 stories in 6 months is great.

Thanks! But let's get rid of that brunette before my wife gets home.

Congrats!

How about a blonde instead?

Crap, I'm going to be in so much trouble.

My wife has a T-shirt that says, "God gave me red hair because he knew I needed a warning label." And that's even without factoring the Latina blood.

Congrats. I ran my own numbers and you're on pace to double my output. Not that I'm overly prolific or anything...
It indicates to me you love what you're doing, so keep it up.

Red haired Latina... Good luck with that. LOL

Quite a few of my stories are relatively short. But yes, I *do* love this.

Red haired Latina... Good luck with that. LOL

Married twenty years, so I must be doing something right. Reading her my stories helps.

This is creepy, my wife has that same shirt...but she's Sicilian. The green eyes flash, her face gets red and her lip does this weird curling thing when she's mad...and its sexy AF.

Not that I ever make her mad, but you know, when she's mad at other people.

Congrats on six months...we should make medallions.

"Hi, StillStunned!"

Ah, yes, being the 10 year old in the back kitchen during AA meetings...

Makes sense. I just updated my word counts and 22 of my stories are novellas with one novel. A little over 850K words total if I include the pending stories I have.

This writing thing just found me about five years ago.
I'm not sure where it came from or why, but it won't let me go. (oh, the horror. Right?)
With my Lit stuff and a few other larger projects(An epic fantasy novel, one or two Jason Borne type pieces, a Romance novel I still need to edit, and my work in progress folder, my word count is probably in excess of two million words or something like that. Throw in a day job and it's been a hectic five years, but I wouldn't stop if I could. The stories deserve to be told. Nay, they demand be be told...

My wife only has red hair during the summer, winter is a random choice, so I guess I have a reprieve during the cold weather months

Make that 12. Someone added a 10th rating on "Orgy of Death". Thanks, kind reader!

Do you have any SW quotes suitable for a funeral? Asking for a friend.
