Same here! I really regret that the catholicwriters group in particular is so dead. ~ yeah ~ that one in particular is sad sad sad. foo.
I'm afraid I've turned into quite the tea snob. ~ i think i have too, though maybe if offered i'd be less picky? dunno.
I always picture some future scholar pouring over my unfinished work, making comments along the lines of: "Ah, yes, this unfortunately was one of her weakest works. The plot is terrible, the characters are weak..." ~ oy vey! the horror! people there are reasons some work was never published! i always cringe when they unearth some long-dead writer's manuscript and then print it and the sharks go to town. of course, i'd be dead, so it wouldn't really matter. hahahaha ~
(Of course, this fantasy also goes along with the "famous author" daydream: the one where high schoolers are reading my work along with Twain, Dickens, the Brontes, and the like.) ~ well naturally! hahahaha ~
And, of course, I've always been nervous that my descendents will find my diary after I'm dead. I can just hear it now: "Great-Grandma did WHAT???" =) ~ well there's no question in my mind that i'll destroy my diaries and correspondance before i die. absolutely nothing in there for prying eyes!
