The addiction of reviews

[primsong]

I like to think I am well-cultured and self-confident enough that I can write purely for my own enjoyment, post simply to share something that might be of interest...not because my ego is shrieking somewhere inside "feed me! feed me!". Ah, strokes. Those darn reviews are worse than caffeine, or carbs, or any other little addiction running around in my life. Nothing else can make me fret and hover and refresh a page like that even though I *know* that only a straggling handful of people in this world are likely to read it, that they are in another time zone and won't get around to it possibly for days, and only a fraction of that tiny group will take the time to type anything up.

What is it about them? I feel like one of the Dwarves when they imagined that gold pile in the mountain and could only think of getting their grimy little paws on a piece of it. It makes for great introspection as to the condition of my self-worth, I will grant it that.

On the good side, it goaded me into finally finishing up the last few chapters of 'Stone of Erebor' and it is good to have it nearly done, removes shadows of guilt I didn't quite realize I had.

Well, what you've seen so far was for the most part sewn by someone else. Although I made Galadriel's crown and several accessories for Luminara, I'm very much a beginner at sewing.

I'm trying to do my own sewing on my latest venture. Whether or not that will happen depends on how far I get with the limited time I have. Since I'm a newbie, I'm extremely careful and it takes me much longer to do anything. But Bella has fewer accessories, so the dress and corset are the majority of the costume.
