I feel very down and out of sorts today. I think it's because I have been really tired and fed up after working all weekend yet again. I feel I live there at the moment. Frankly it's a bit depressing considering that I spend most of my time at work slaving my guts out and yet I still can't afford to do anything.
My life feel like a constant round on the treadmill. Work. Sleep. Work. Sleep. Naturally nothing is getting done. I desperately need a holiday but I'm pretty sure that I won't be able to get one 'til after April if I get one at all. This is very depressing.
I have ideas for 'Songbirds' but I don't know whether I can sort this out. This draft is taking way too long to sort out. I know I have to be patient but it's hard to know if I'm just wasting my time. Most of the time I work alone and it doesn't bother me that much but I don't have a great deal of self-confidence at the moment.

This popped up on my f list. I would imagine there is several weeks worth of reading on this one. To be honest it's probably the kick up the arse that I need fic-wise. I really do need to finish 'The Poignard' and then it can take pride of place there as well. Not to mention 'In too Deep' and 'Shades of Loyalty' as well.

in case anyone's interested.
I was kind of getting to the stage when I was considering just leaving it because I've written myself into a corner and I don't really know how to write myself out of it. The end is written; there's a whole bunch of plot that happens after the massacre and the king's death. But I just cannot for the love of God get past this plot hole. More like a plot swamp at this point.
I cannot find anyone who wants to beta and to be honest I know it's a big ask. It's long. Very long. I actually wish I hadn't written it long. But try as I might I really cannot write short and it's something that I'm going to have to work on.
I mean 'Songbirds was only meant to be a short slight tale and it's close to 80k or will be by the end of the week.

I think I need something to cheer me up a bit as I can tell I'm doing the moping thing, and that's not good. How about this?

Since I have no money, I think I'm going to spend the next two days writing 'Songbirds' I only hope I can get some head way on it. I just want to finish this draft now!

I was browsing at Gawker, and one of the post was discussing a new series by the guys that brought us 'Mad men' about Louis XIV, entitled 'Versailles'. John Hamm, aka Don Draper would be taking the title role.

Now I don't know what to think about this to be honest. I love the time period which is why I eventually set my stories there. I would like to see more fiction and series set in the time period. I'm not sure if I would enjoy it though. What you think? Who do you think should be cast. I hope they are going to tackle the whole of his reign from the beginning but I'm not so sure.
I'm still waiting impatiently for 'The Borgias', which if they do it right should be amazing. I have already talked of my feelings about the last season of 'The Tudors' and the Grad- A hash they made of that. I have such high hopes and I don't want to be disappointed.

I'm going to have to go to work soon , but we shall discuss at length once I get back.

Incidentally, before I leave I have to say that I was on the search for King Kong fic based on the film by Peter Jackson, but it was in very short supply. Has anyone heard of any or got any recs? I just want to try something new. I must try and watch the rest of 'Tom Jones' tonight after work and perhaps I might re read 'Captain's Surrender' by Alex Beecroft. I really loved it so I should do a proper review at some point.

Starting to put up bits of my Eastern Promises/ Generation Kill crossover at AO3 as well. Here's some links if you're interested.
