writer's envy is threatening to consume me.

i will never be able to convey ideas as clearly or blisteringly as the way others have done in the things i've been reading. i know i have my own writer's "voice" and all that, but i'm becoming more and more convinced that it doesn't have anything good to say.

i feel like a fucking failure right now.

i'm going to blame it on residual pms, i think.

There are particular people I beta for in order to get closer to them, their imagery, their overall style... I hope you know that you're in that group for me.

I wish I could bleach the words 'fucking failure' from your brain, heart, spirit, fingers on the keyboard.

I do have a perhaps irreverent thought. I've been watching Torchwood, and it makes me want to watch BSG again. BSG is so dark, and real, and the characters in an inexplicable way make me think of you. I wanted to like Torchwood for the M/M or omnisexual Jack, but my soul is drawn back to BSG. I know that you have Adrian/Ron/Draco/David Bowie on the brain, but have you thought about writing even a snippet something about Starbuck? Or anything over in that realm?

You do have your own author's voice, and whether it's good or not, well, I know that I've been HOARDING your fics on my harddrive, in whatever states of finished they are, because I adore them.

So there. :P

BSG, hmm? It's certainly intriguing -- and it would give me another reason to sit down and watch the entire series from front to back again. :p

For future reference, you simply CANNOT throw all of them in together like that. IT'S JUST TOO MUCH. All that blond and red mingling together... UNF.

I hope you know that you're in that group for me.

That's a honor for me, truly. You're my favorite writer, but I'm certain you know that already.

I may have something to send you on the CoR thing -- it depends on how much I can get typed today. It's turning out a lot pornier than I'd originally thought it would be. :p

(((squishes you)))
