What is a journal for if not to be pleased about oneself?

There is a forward to the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy specifically on the subject of having adventures. It says: Don't. Ever. While you may think you would enjoy gallivanting across planets, running away from the worst the universe has to offer, outsmarting, outbluffing, and outfighting aliens from a hundred thousand million different races, the truth is most people much prefer to stay at home, or in a nice well-made spaceship, and drink a good cup of tea.

But if you can't get the tea, you might as well.

Every once in a great while, I am driven to reread something I have written, and I find that I can be an _excellent and enjoyable writer_! Which is not to say I wouldn't take an editor's sledgehammer to my works, but it's very reassuring to find reminders that I Don't Suck at this, I just need to get my damn act together and DO THE THING.

The above quote is from my Hitchhiker's Fanfic, The Cold Sands of Anatidae. It is fluffy, and cute, and quite rough in points -again, sledgehammer. And just enough of it gets the voice entirely right that I think my H2G2 peeps should go read it, even though it's several years old at this point.
