Five things make a post
May. 15th, 2013 10:19 am1. Picked up from ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
nightdog_barks and deserving of sharing:
NYPD calls fire department to rescue officer from tree. If you put this in a story, you'd have to describe it as crack!fic.
2. My week has been immeasurably improved by finding lots of documentaries by Alastair Sooke on YouTube. He's an art historian, critic and one of those people with apparently endless enthusiasm and the ability to convey it. My only gripe is that his series on British sculpture isn't available, but if you like ancient history or modern art, there's something there for you.
3. I've needed something to keep me going, as most of this week so far seems to have consisted of data entry. There's not much left, but my motivation has run completely dry. My only hope is to pick up the good habit I've been acquiring from #Paperlegends chat and try to Get Stuff Done in half hour bursts. It's got my fic to over 31K, so something about it must work!
4. Speaking of which, I'll have 3 fics for you this week \o/ All Merlin, all short-ish, and all giving me hope that my ability to write short and silly has not completely deserted me. I'll be back on my Big Bang from next week, but I think I've needed the break to get some perspective on all the angst I'm subjecting my characters to. In the middle of it, it can feel a little overblown somehow, so I'm hoping that coming back to it, I'll be able to read it with a cooler head and carry on.
5. I had a fifth thing, I swear I did, but it's nearly half past and I want to get going, so instead, have a link to an interview by Caitlin Moran with Benedict Cumberbatch here.
There you go. You're going to get nothing done now, are you? But I really have to, so back later with fic! Have a good day, folks :)
ETA: I'm learning Tumblr ever so slowly, even if everything in me wants to shout at it CITE YOUR SOURCES. I just did when reblogging something (because it took me 4 clicks to track it down, and the complete thing is TOTALLY worth a look), and now I'm worried I'm doing it wrong *headdesk* I just can't get the hang of all this newfangled technological revolution stuff that you kids these days are using...
