Decisions ...

Car shopping hell is over. We finalized a deal today for the new vehicle, and we will pick it up tomorrow. I'm glad and relieved the ordeal is over, although spending that amount of money is a bit terrifying. When I consider I'll likely have the car for 10-15 years to come, it's not quite as frightening. I've had my Mustang for 13 years now, so I tend to keep my cars for a long time. Still ... ouch. Now, of course, the doubts start to set in. Because it's rainy and gray and I don't actually have shiny-happy new car in my driveway/garage to go look at. I have to wait until tomorrow to get that new car "glow".

In other news, I've decided it's time to pull my fanfic down. It seems like a sudden decision, I know, but this is something I've been pondering for quite a while now. I've been pretty much semi-retired from fanfiction for a couple of years now, and I don't see that changing much in the future. More and more, I find myself wanting to spend time working on my own original fiction. And this is a good thing. Fanfic was a great way for me to find my way and to teach myself how to write again. And it's been fun. But it just feels like it's time for me to move on to something new.

I'll be leaving the fic up for about another month. Sometime in January, I'll start pulling stuff down from fanfiction.net. So, if you read fic over there and happen to like anything in particular, you might want to save it before I start deleting things. =)
