![]() ![]() "Is the prose alive or dead? That's all you need to carry on." - Jill Dawson *** 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 ![]() |
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! ![]() 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 ![]() |
![]() ![]() "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." *** My continuing series of quotes about Doctor Who & the actors who have played them! |
![]() ![]() "I love this part, and I love this show so much that if I don't take a deep breath and move on now I never will, and you'll be wheeling me out of the TARDIS in my bath chair." - David Tennant *** My continuing series of quotes about Doctor Who & the actors who have played them! |
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. ![]() |

![]() ![]() "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! |
![]() ![]() "We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us." *** 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! |
![]() ![]() It's easier to put on slippers than carpet the whole world. - Unknown *** This is definitely one of those phrases I like the sound of more than I like/understand the meaning... ![]() |
