365 Photos - 1/365 (Water theme)

[byslantedlight]

Thank you fiorenza_a who suggested the theme of water for the first week of my 365 project (which is where I post at least one picture a day, for 365 days... *g*) Trouble is - it rained today, and I was going to go out, but actually... So not a very exciting first photo, but it is a photo! It's a start! In other news:

Reading - The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver (for book group next Thursday.) I wasn't sure at first, but 100 pages in I'm happy to keep going and find out what happens. *g* It's set in the Congo, which makes me think maybe I should find one of those travel-the-world reading challenges, this year!

Fanfic
Meg Lewtan's Bird in a Gilded Cage beside my bed, but I've remembered what happens in general, and sort of stalled. Read the first story in O. Yardley's Septet zine last night (technically very early this morning!) - nice enough - and I may read the next one tonight, which is a sequel to Two Lovers. Except that I wasn't keen on Two Lovers, it sounded more like O. Yardley than our lads, imnsho, so I might skip it to the next story in the zine... We'll see. *g*

Writing
Erk - a bit of helpful research this morning, does that count?

Telly
Missed the beginning of Dickensian cos I was making fudge, but the rest was still good. Sherlock was a bit more good - anyone else watch?! If I'd thought about expecting something, that wouldn't have been it... *g*

How're you doing, this first day of 2016 (well, second I expect, by the time I hit post and you read this...)?

Well it's certainly wet!

Don't you find 1/365 just a bit daunting?

I haven't seen Star Wars yet (RL taking a nasty turn) or Shirley. So I'm doing my best Likely Lads impression trying to avoid spoilers - so I only skimmed the other comments.

And in my book research definitely counts as writing!

I'm hoping to get a bit more done myself, but my woeful energy levels mean I'm often too wiped out to concentrate. I was re-reading a WIP Iast night, it's (obviously) not finished and could do with a polish, but I was surprised by its general coherence.

Must have been more switched on then.

Anyway, there are other things I want to finish first. Sometimes, with my readery head on, I re-read a WIP and get really frustrated that I don't how it ended. But I'm only going to know if my writery head gets a shift on and finishes it.

My head is full of compartments...

Hee - no, 1/365 isn't daunting. I know I take lots of photos, and I know that's just one a day, so... it's okay. *g*

I'm completely avoiding Star Wars spoilers too - so far so good (and no one's spoiled it, so yeay). I quite often don't even skim comments when I know there's something I don't want to know about that they might be replying to, so I quite understand!

Shall cross my fingers for energy and WIP-getting-on-with, for both of us!
