workshops and May goals

(if you're also reading my RL lj, wantonhussy, you will notice a lot of repetitiveness in the personal posts. This one generally has more details, though, since I can be honest here.)

Update:

My workshops on Friday went *really* unbelievably well. I enjoyed doing them and the participants seemed pleased with their experiences. Of course, I'd love some direct feedback from them, but at least they seemed more than just polite at the end.

Note to self, though: "Normal" people often do not have much experience doing group meditation-type exercises. I t takes them a *long* time to settle down and shut the hell up. I wonder if that was just these people or the nature of working with "the public"...

Anyway though, it went super-well, I enjoyed it, and I think this *is* something I could do with my life for reals. *g*

Oh, and Happy Beltane/sweet springtime to everyone! Go get your groove on outside, solo or partnered, some time today! :)


Goals for May:

1. super-clean every inch of the house and take stuff to donate

2. finish as many outstanding short stories as possible (currently I have 13 WIPs I truly want to get done, and another 11 that are probably not worth pursuing anymore, but are worth at least checking out and officially declaring as stinkers)

WIPS:
50 kinky ways ficlets
sequel to Atlas' Shoulders (2 chapters)
sequel to Inside the Captain's Cabin
Harry/Draco PWP
Hidalgo fic
sequel to Virulentus Somnium
Orli/Eric/Bean PWP
Obi angst-fic
Obi/Qui humor with sileya
Obi/Qui PWP
5-stages fic
Orli/Vig/Karl with lostiawen

Stinkers:
nah, not going to embarrass myself ;)

3. write my weekly column about sex

4. start belly dancing again

packages

Have been given to the post office. They said 5-7 days for everything in the states and a week or two for Ireland and Canada. *grumble* Please let me know when you get them.

discussion - thoughts on re-writing

So recently I've had an old obsession revive - HP. And I have a WIP that I'd actually kind of like to finish, maybe. At least make a stab at it and see if it's something I'm still interested in.

BUT

The first part of it is the first slash I ever write, the first *fiction* of any real length I ever wrote, and it kind of makes me cringe to even think about reading it. So I'm debating whether I should re-write that one first.

So I can't decide what to do. On one hand, it's where I started, of course I've grown since then, everyone's first thing is awkward, there's no shame is just starting out, it shows me how much I've grown, etc etc etc.

On the other hand... it's painfully embarrassing.


Anyone have any thoughts/suggestions/personal anecdotes/experiences to share/etc?
