"My fiddle would be the better for new strings."

^ One of the best random quotes ever.  It's from Sherlock Holmes, too.  :D 

Speaking of whom, I ought to be writing my review of BBC's new "Sherlock" TV series, which we finished watching just recently.  But actually, I worked on something better today--I started my story for FicSwap 2010 at Wickfield.  :)  I've already passed the minimum word count, but I'm hoping to keep the story as short as possible, and not get too needlessly verbose as I often am. I'll try not to get too critical of my writing, either, as that can be a major source of writer's block for me.  :P  Anyway, I think it'll turn out pretty good.  I used to write only short stories, so it's nice to be taking a break from writing novel-length stories.

Apart from that, there hasn't been much to blog about, lately.  A lot of different projects (sewing, drawing, reading) have been on my mind.  I wish I had some fast-paced classic lit to read, too.  Any suggestions?  :)  I do plan to finish Monte Cristo, but I find it hard to read that kind of book during the school year.





P. S. Is the font too small?
