Wow.
I logged on tonight just in time to see what I "thought was going to happen" change. Not all of it. But even that shifted quite a bit to the point where I wasn't completely sure where the momentum was going to end up going.
When it comes to such a talented group of writers, I'm not at all surprised at how close the voting has been. I imagine that it is only going to get even more so as we move closer to the end.
Unfortunately though, part of moving forward is saying goodbye to some people - people who have been absolutely fantastic to have along for this ride, and I hope we will continue to see in the Home Game, and cheering for their favorites!
Today, we are losing:
cheshire23
walkertxkitty from Redemption
and from the main tribe
beeker121, mac_arthur_park and shimmerdream
I didn't even realize, until I was typing the names, that all of them are veterans. Which is either a testament to how awesome our veterans are, that there are so many of them left at this point. Or a testament to how awesome our newbies are... possibly both!

Sad to see all those people go!

On the super bright side
It's an honor to be on this list with all of you, even if it makes me grumpy. Good company makes things easier.
I do second that
Plus I have a soft spot for Beeker21 and shimmerdream.
Thank you, though, for keeping me in your soft spot (see?).
So sorry to see you go. I've really enjoyed your work!

LJI has been a real boon and comfort to me. I looked back over entries ad realized I've been doing this since season three. It's done so much for my skills and self esteem. I wouldn't have recognized the work as mine, had I not read it in my own journal.
See you all in the home game, time permitting. We're about to put in the autumn crops.
My aim was to do better than I did in Season 8 and I achieved that, so I'm happy. And thanks to everyone for their encouraging comments on my entries. LJ Idol has been huge amounts of fun.
Now on to my next creative writing project... updating my CV!
