talkingsoupI figure I should mention this now, before the next two weeks, being the last two weeks of the semester, murder my soul.
So I got Cinquefoil, at long last. This would be![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ladyjaida's poetry book. And I've been reading it, and...
This girl cannot fail.
Oh my god. She's like Midas without the negative side effects. Everything she touches turns to gold. She can do fanfic! She can do original fiction! She can do poetry! You know, it's not easy to excel in one area of writing and also in another. I'm starting to think that there's nothing she can't do. Her poems are so brilliant, mostly modern-esque with beautiful imagery and the sort of sarcastic, musing style that is entirely hers.
She's amazing. She makes me feel so inadequate. Here I am, about the same age as her with this 439 page mother that is Motley Crew, and she with two published works (at least) and a fanfic with billions of fans and a mention in the Wall Street Journal.
But that's okay, because feeling inadequate makes me just want to try harder.
And if I sound like a fangirl, it's because I am.
Anyway, go buy Cinquefoil. You can get it on Babel Books and Amazon.
Ahh...happy.
