Life’s too short for shitty writing

April 15, 2008 by tamarasheehan

Today has been pure bollocks. I have produced a single, solitary decent line of text. Here it is:

…lying there with a bullet in his shoulder, for all the world like the crane wife.

Clearly today is not my day. Tomorrow might be better but that’s uncertain as the distractions distracting me today will probably be distracting me tomorrow too. Anyway, I’ve had enough tearing my hair out in front of the computer. I’m off.  Disco, anyone?

    Hi JC! Your email made me laugh. I’m finding stuff rather less distracting now.

  • What I’m Reading Now

    I've spent the last few days at work and baking, which has been a good way to spend a blustery, rainy half week. I've also been curled up under the blankets on the couch with Philippa Greggory's book The Boleyn Inheritance, which I got by accident from a friend who was returning some books she'd borrowed from me and had accidentally stuck that one in the pile. Awesome. Ever since Tudor Cast became sadly irregular, I've had too little British history in my life.

    If you need something beautifully researched and wonderfully written, and if you think the women are underrepresented as primary movers in SFF and perhaps are guilty of not writing women very much yourself (*cough*), and if you, perhaps wanted to look at how a master works her all-female cast, then it's likely that you'll like this book. Heck, you might even like all of Greggory's books. And you might be wondering if the library has any of them in right now. Just sayin'.
