First, I made my peace with never becoming a published author.
Then I made my peace with getting a heart once in a blue moon, and a comment only after I sacrifice the colony of dust bunnies which gathers under my bed to the vacuum cleaner. Sometimes not even then.
But I had something which made me smile: The views. Because if someone reads the chapter on AO3, then the views went up. It is not an algorithm which can be cheated.
Now I don't even have that, since I started putting formatted books on DeviantArt as a free download. I can't even see statistics for how many people had downloaded the books.
But that is ok. That is just fine.
For the day had come, during which I just feel grateful for having time to write.
One day, I won't even have that, but today is not that day!
