Here We Go...
Hello. Update time. Fun for all. Let's start by saying a few things. I'll even number them because I'm in one of those strange, strange moods.

ONE: Am trying to write Huddy. Am failing. Am not happy. Will not use a single subject in this first "thing".
TWO: I'll say it now: Something tells me I cannot "compete" with shadowfood's "Three's A Crowd". I like my story, and some people like my story, too. But apparently, many, many people are flocking over to her story -- and enjoying it quite thoroughly. Jealous? No, not really. Her characters are in character; her writing is decent; she has all the components for a story and adds in her own pizzazz. What can I say? She's not pretentious; she's concise. People like what she does. It's simple. It's in character. It's Huddy. It's what the people want. Writing is not a competition -- which is why compete is in parenthesis -- but it does feel like one sometimes.
THREE: If anyone cares, I don't know when "The Land of Qualms" will be updated. I have ideas, but not control of the words I need to write them.
FOUR: I might be writing a bit of an "essay" on why, I think, Sara is attracted to Grissom and why what happened, happened. But don't hold me to it.
FIVE: Yes, more journal has grown more pointless. I realize this. Don't be surprised if I take a little hiatus or something from updating.
SIX: I have no idea when I'll have the CSI fanfiction recommendations up and running. Trust me -- schedules and thyself, we don't mix that well.
SEVEN: Thank you to [info]blushingsigh for the review for "Seesaw". Truly, my ego swelled dangerously. ;)
EIGHT: [info]blushingsigh, I'm ready to beta your story. I apologize for not being online last week.
NINE: [info]lemonjelly_, that e-mail will be to you by the twenty-eighth. I don't care if I have to forgo sleep for the next three nights. This is one promise I'm forcing myself to keep.
TEN: To help cure my writer's block, I am reading different fanfictions. The authors I'd like to thank are (and I am not going to plagiarize from you, because I'd hang myself before I did that):

[info]wench_for_hire
[info]lemonjelly_
[info]allthingsholy
[info]ijemanja

ELEVEN: [info]lemonjelly_ I'll be sending you some music very soon. It's a shame I've been so pathetic in sending things to you.
TWELVE: Also, [info]lemonjelly_, I've no idea when I'll be done with the drawing. I'm not even trying to guess.
THIRTEEN: [info]blushingsigh, I don't know when I'll post a preview of "Of Sand and Cigarettes". After recently re-watching an episode, I've realized it's not exactly plausible, so I need to correct it.

And that's all for now. Good night.

ONE: Concentrate. Don't give up on that Huddy fic you're trying to write. I'd read it.

TWO: I admit "Three's A Crowd" really is good. I'm one of those hooked people.
But don't cut yourself short. Like you said, this isn't a competition and every writer has a different style and it's nice to read different styles. Plus, it would be a different fic. It's not like it would be the same. And even if there are stuff in common, the approach would be different.

THREE: Is TLoQ a Huddy fic or Grissom/Sara? (My memory sucks!) I'm NO fan of GRS, but if it's Huddy, i'll be sure to read it ;)

You know you don't need to do any of that stuff concerning me, yknow?

(I saw the CSI finale, by the way. And ohgod HOrrible.)

Take your time or you can just go along with what Roald Dahl said- 'As a writer, you have to force yourself to write', or something. Or you can just go with the former advice XD.
About 'TWO', be yourself, that's all you can do (sorry that Audioslave song got stuck in my head). I know how you feel and you 'don't have to compete'. I'll say more to you if I get to catch online later on. And you know what, you are bigger than I am *bear hugs*.
About 'Three', relax. It'll be okay.
About 'Four', you don't really have to write an essay, maybe some thoughts. But hey, whatever floats your boat.
Don't be surprised if I take a little hiatus or something from updating.
Well, I'll miss you.
Truly, my ego swelled dangerously. ;)
Well, I'll hold onto you in case you don't float away ;). And you're welcome.
About eight, it's abso-smurfly okay. I'll add finishing touches once I manage to put my other fic up on FFN.
Take your time with 'Of Sand and Cigarettes'. I do hope it works out because it sounds lovely :).
