Five Things on Friday!

1. I'm feeling a wee bit better this week than last. There are still things that need to be resolved, but I'm not quite as rage-y as I was. I probably need to find some kind of outlet for some of this stuff, but I'm not quite sure what yet.

2. My job is definitely managing to use every single skill I've ever accrued and listed on my CV. In addition to all the admin skills, it's calling upon my vet tech skills from way back in the day. I've spent the majority of the week looking at parasite eggs through a microscope. I know. *waves hands* I like it, though. It's nice to do something a little different than the usual.

3. I finally finished watching Galavant and my heart is filled with the purest joy imaginable. I'm also happily watching Death in Paradise on BBC. Not for the plots, just for the sunshine and the music. And Danny John-Jules who, fun fact, in addition to playing Cat on Red Dwarf was ALSO one of the Firey's in Labyrinth (the red feathery guys who try to take Sarah's head). Good times!

4. I was reading a writing blog that was discussing Wake-Up Calls and Turning Points and went - Ha! I've got that! I've already got that part! Holy crap, I'm in the middle of the story now! *flails* It's nice to realize that I'm firmly in the middle of things. I still need to work on fleshing things out as opposed to being very plot-point and action-oriented.

5. Well, I have a lovely bag of McCoy's Salt and Vinegar crisps that I'm going to decadently enjoy because it is Friday and I have been on my feet all week.

6. Ooh! Bonus point - I'm currently rocking a very cute outfit of jeggings, brown ankle boots, a chunky off-white jumper and a scarf with little sheep on it. Go me!

Happy Friday! ♥

Ugh. I'm so tired. I should probably do an actual update, but I'm so exhausted, I'll aim to do one this weekend. Instead - meme!

This is from all over the place: Pull seven lines from the seventh page of your WIP.

This is from my Het Big Bang, tentatively titled 'Life and Death in Limbo'.

Bilbo glared through the ghost at Gandalf. "You tricked me."

"You needed it," Gandalf said sternly. "You have been denying and ignoring your gift for far too long, Bilbo Baggins. It’s time you used it."

"Is that--?" Fili asked.

"A ghost, yes, it is," Bilbo said looking the small spirit over.

He smiled at her. "You must be Miss Baggins! Gandalf has told me all about you! Shall we get on with it?"

"I beg your pardon?" Bilbo said. "Get on with what?"

"Get on with sending me back!" the little man said frantically. "I'm ready! I'm going so thin these days and it's so hard to hold on and I'm so very tired."

Bilbo stared at the little man with growing horror and she looked at Gandalf. "Have you just been carrying him around in your pocket? Gandalf! How positively wretched of you!"


Happy Friday! ♥

My Weekend To Do List:

~Watch The Ghost and Mrs Muir
~Do a ‘monkey brain' exercise with Nora and possibly Captain Alec, but I kinda know him already, Nora’s the one I’m wibbly on
~Type up what I’ve handwritten so far
~Clean the kitchen
~Make stew and dumplings (Sunday)

I think I can do all that.

And since it’s Friday, have a picture of Karl Urban doing the Vulcan salute.

FRIDAY!!!!

I've been invited to go geo-caching and wassailing tomorrow. If the weather continues to be as nice as it currently it, I might go.

Sooo, since it's Friday and it was a long week, I'm posting pictures of pretty people. Just 'cause. :D

This will kill your dial-up, btw!

just one look at you )

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!

I cannot stop writing the next bit of Teeth, Claws and Guinness! I had a writing schedule y'all! This was going to be ~after~ I wrote something else! I blame the weather and the way the valley looks outside my window. And Michael Fassbender.

Btw, I know nothing about football (UK, not American. I have a better handle on US football. I went to Florida State University and it's something of a pre-requisite.), so could someone sum up the whole league thing in 20 words or less? Who plays against who?

ALSO, TFIF EVERYBODY!!!!

(The 'g' has been replaced by an 'f', so it stands for 'Thank F*** it's Friday!)

So! I'm compiling fics to rec over at [livejournal.com profile] het_reccers and I'm noticing a couple of things about the fics that I enjoy. For example, I tend to like odd pairings and very long stories. A lot of the fics I've saved are chaptered and quite epic. This got me to thinking about my own writing and stories.

I was considering my writing goals for this year and I've finally settled on them. I'm not going to focus too much on word count as I still don't know where I'm going to end up in the next few months. Instead, I'm focusing on research and original fic. Yep. You heard me. I'd like to write more original stuff and so I'm afraid the TCG 'verse is going to be around for a while. I'm also going to try to be more selective about stuff I write, take more time with the ideas, and do some bloody research.

You know how sometimes you read something and just go: "Wow. That was so intelligent. Everything fit together so well." Well, that's what I'm aiming for.

I think. This is of course, liable to change if the wind blows in a certain direction, so we'll see.

Anyway!

Poll Time!

I'd just like to know people's preferences in regards to length and ratings of fic. If there is a type I've forgotten or you'd like to explain your preferences, feel free to comment!

Thank you!

There is a lot of snow out there. It's well above my ankles. (Cue telling this to my husband and him saying, 'Yeah, but your ankles are really short.' Grrr. Bite me, Mr. Six-Foot-Tall person. It's still really deep. :P)

So, I'm going home before the trains stop or something predictable like that.

And this is good because it means I can work on my Yuletide story. I have two little sections left and then I'm done. Did I read correctly? We can upload and then edit even after the 20th Dec?

I'm also still on a massive Rupert Graves kick. He's really all sorts of lovely. Feel free to leave comments saying how adorable he is in this post, if you'd like. :D

Happy TGIF!

ETA: BTW, I left a prompt over at the Sherlock Kink Meme and I think I want to write it myself. Is it silly to fill one's own prompt?

It's Karl! For Judge Dredd! [livejournal.com profile] aj, look! Y'all this movie is going to be SO BAD AND YET FEEL SO GOOD!.

KAAARRLLL )

Happy Friday!

1. We've got so much snow! So pretty!

2. I honestly just made myself tear up writing my original fic. I'm at work. This is not good.

3. Why did no one tell me Michael Sheen is going to be in Tron: Legacy?

Happy TGIF!

FRIDAY!

I am SO ready for this week to be over. I'm moving OUT tomorrow! Yay! Finally. Of course, I'm moving in with my in-laws, but I adore them and it means I might actually get internet access in the evenings.

I'm still puttering around with the Teeth, Claws and Guinness world. I've been writing bits and pieces all week. I've got more people to add to the cast list!

Happy Friday, everyone!

As I've seen around the place, here are some snippets from my current works-in-progress.

I truly have no idea when I'm going to be able to work on them, but here they are.

we'll build a little home, just meant for two )

HAPPY FRIDAY!!

This tumblr, right here? Is my freakin' happy place.

Speaking of bookshelves, the plan for Saturday is to go to the National Library of Wales, find myself an empty table, and WRITE. I'm only 3700 words into my Big Bang and that needs to change. I know what I'm doing though! I've got an outline and everything.

However, in good news: IT'S FRIDAY!

Why is it that when I decide to write just a short, mostly dialogue-based fic it turns into, at the moment, 1,218 word epic? I mean, I'm still in the setting the scene bit!

And what's worse, I'm not too sure I like it, but it just keeps going and going and going.

*headdesk*

I'm going to lunch. Maybe I'll be less prolific when I'm not having hunger pangs.

This is all y'all's fault for wanting naked!Christine, Face and McCoy, by the way. :P

Happy Friday!
