When you see this, post a little weensy excerpt from as many random works-in-progress as you can find lying around. Who knows? Maybe inspiration will burst forth and do something, um, inspiration-y.

I must have gone mad. It is the only logical explanation. Completely and utterly insane.

I suppose they will have to take me away and lock me up in Bedlam. Then the keeper will come by my cell with his gaggle of well-paying gawkers and say: "Look 'ere, look 'ere. Would you believe this 'ere fellow used to be a right proper Commodore? 'Ad it all, 'e bloody well nearly did - and then what do you think the silly bugger went and did? 'E fell in love! With a pirate!", and any ladies in the group will have trouble deciding whether to giggle or be properly scandalized, and any man of a clergical persuasion will make some comment about the wages of sin.

Absolutely and completely stark raving mad.

Have I ever told you how much I love you? No, I don't think I ever have. I've been reading your fics since the beginning of high school and I still regularly stalk your LJ without saying much of anything. Well, now I am.

I love your voice, the way you can accurately describe the precise thoughts of a commodore. LOVE. You are one of my top ten favorite writers.

Don't give up! I've written tons of unfinished stuff and I'm petrified of posting any of it for fear of exciting interest and then never finishing. Sooo... *extends sympathy and hugs*

Heeheehee. Poor James. Silly bugger indeed. Can you imagine James waltzing up and smacking Jack straight in the face a la Tortuga?

Yes, poor James indeed :-)

No, I don't believe you have. Thank you. I'm thrilled that you have been enjoying my humble and infrequent offerings, and I wish you the best of luck with your own writing :-)

Sorry it's taken me a bit of time before replying. Occasionally I let myself procrastinate a bit too much, which unfortunately is also my problem when writing and getting around to continue and finish perfectly good stories. Still, can't be helped. Sometimes you just have to try and risk failing. Although I must admit, the most annoying thing about "Falling..." and finishing it is that I already know what is going to happen. I've known pretty much since I started writing the bloody thing. It's making myself sit down and put the words down on paper that's the challenging bit. But nevermind, I doubt you commented to hear me complain about my own problems.

Can you imagine James waltzing up and smacking Jack straight in the face a la Tortuga?
Under the right circumstances: very, very easily. Of course, Jack deserves it. ;-)

Thank you!

I have the same problem. I'm trying to write a short story for a friend for Christmas and I know precisely what and how I want to do it. I've had the story bouncing around my skull all through finals, a month beforehand. And yet I can't seem to even write a word. It's very frustrating and I don't have much time to write it as it is.

Under the right circumstances, Jack might even like it. *has kinky brain yesyes*
