Thank you *Shock* I definitely haven't been active for fourteen years, but the passing of time is still shocking...

"Is the prose alive or dead? That's all you need to carry on."

This gave me a little bump of encouragement when I started diving back into editing and was getting stressed and indecisive about some small word choices. I think my prose is alive, so I'm good in the wider scheme of things *Cool*
Hmm, I spent about an hour drafting reviews yesterday and I managed to complete ... about one and a half. At that rate, I'd need to dedicate around five or six hours a week to writing seven reviews to maintain that reviewing streak - at least, if I write my reviews the way I want to write them!

*Yikes*

I don't have that spare time... so I think it'll just be sporadic ones from me from now on (plus a dump of ones sitting in my backlog today).

Oh, also, I had a couple of links to reviewing groups/iniatives I'd saved a while ago, and when I came to post them, they'd disappeared, so TBH I think it's easier just to stick to whatever I happen to get out of the old auto-reward system *Delight*

"That's what interests me about the Doctor because, actually, look at the blood on the man's hands... Which is why I think he has to make silly jokes and wear a fez. Because if he didn't, who knows what he'd do."

I wanna see your commonplace book. I'm kinda like a notebook nerd. Don't email me. I'm too busy to clear my full inbox. *Laugh* Not yet at least.
Elycia Lee ☮ Monday Author Icon - I went through all my old schoolwork recently so at the moment I'm just using up all of those ones. It's not pretty, but it works for me *Delight*
citruspocket Author Icon - I so want to start one, but I am so busy working. When I am not, I am busy recovering from it.

"There were two reasons to do it: Russell [T. Davies, the head writer] and the gamble. And I like a gamble."

- Christopher Eccleston, on why he decided to take on the part of the Doctor in Doctor Who.

A short series of quotes from a few different actors who have played this role - it's interesting to see how different people approach playing this iconic mainstay of British television!

Spotted at an archaeological site; I looked it up afterwards and found it was a quote from Winston Churchill about the rebuilding of the House of Commons after the Second World War - quite a nice coincidence for me as I work a lot in Westminster!

Off on holiday for a week or so, so will likely be absent from here for a while. I definitely need the break!

I'll still take my notebook to write down things that inspire me - hoping to see lots of archaeology *Bigsmile*

This is definitely one of those phrases I like the sound of more than I like/understand the meaning... *Confused*
