The State of the Ficcery: July 2020
Jul. 31st, 2020 04:40 pmWord Count for July: 37,788
Writing: Watson's July Writing Prompts took up most of the month. I also did some poetry and fic for the Sunshine Challenge. I have 8 fills on my Season of Kink Bingo but no bingo yet.
The big focus for August will be my Good Omens fic for Unconventional Courtship (my post date is 20 Aug) and two sonnets.
Reading: I read The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes by Leonard Goldberg, which was ok. I think I'm biased because it always surprises me when people Get Paid for what is essential Fic. But my sister sent it to me when she cleaned out her closet. I am reading an annotated version of Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep, which I'm enjoying.
TV: I don't watch TV but I had a bunch of borrows left on my account for the month and couldn't find anything I wanted to read, so I watched the first season of New Zealand's "Brokenwood." It's ok. Cops (which I don't like, but Mike is better than most, Kristin and Sam are annoying but tolerable) but sort of like Midsommer Murders without quite so much quirkiness and so high a body count. I was surprised there wasn't more Mike/Jared fic on AO3. My sister also recommended Australia's "Mystery Road" but I couldn't handle more than 1 episode of it. Too cop for me. But it was interesting and nice to see aboriginal actors playing roles.
