So I recieved my first real piece of fan mail. I was not looking forward to going into work but I just moved in with an old co-worker of mine at the end of the year kinda spur of the moment and I was under alot of stress to come up with ALL my rent and utilities in one night. [I ended up making most of what I needed but not all...DONATIONS ARE ACCEPTED BY THE WAY-email me for details ;-) haha ] Anyway, after checking in to work I was feeling more nervous than usual due to the amount of money I needed to make in very small time constraints. I opened up my GMail and saw that one of my readers had e-mailed me about his thoughts on my blog. This guy totally brightened my spirits and boosted my self-confidence which enabled me to put a considerable dent into my rent and utilities.
So "encouraging blog-reader", Thank you so much for brightening my mood and appreciating my rantings. It does feel good to get a written response to my writing. I see all the page statistics and insights about the page views but getting a personal e-mail praising and encouraging my blog made me remember why I keep writing and I felt appreciated.
So I'm posting his e-mail because his little story he included in his letter made me laugh. It is fun to picture him not paying attention to his poker hand because he is enraptured by my writing. XD. Even in my writing I am doing my job right...being distracting.
"Hi Sydni--
I just wanted to let you know I think your blog is AMAZING! I came across it while playing a game of poker at Aria here in Vegas. The other regulars saw that I was paying more attention to my ipad than the game.
'What are you reading over there?'
Me: 'This... blog. The author is a stripper and her stories are so engaging.'
'Well, obviously -- since the action's on you.'
Me: 'Oh!' (I look up to peek at my cards clumsily, then fold)
I'm up to the beginning of 2013, and trying to slow down so I can ration the fun a little longer. Just promise you'll keep up the awesome blogging! You're fantastic. :)"
