I thought I'd put all my fics/fanvids together in one list for ease of reading. I'm only including the ones that are fairly recent/haven't been jossed/I'm not ashamed to let you read...if you really want old, bad, unfinished fic, my ff.net account is here (the Relic Hunter stuff is paticularly atrocious.)

I'm so exhausted and I need to get chapter two finished for (at the latest) tomorrow. The chapter isn't gelling together right and I'm so tired I can't concentrate and I have another shift tomorrow which will make writing difficult and I've used the word 'and' too many times in this sentence.
Plus I have toothache and my legs ache cause my new job is physical and I've eaten two takeaways today so I'll put on weight despite that.
And in between all that I'm convinced that my fic will end up being unnoticed and that I'll never be a good enough writer either in fandom or real life.
Anyway, sorry for the whinge. I'm off to bed in the hope it will all be ok tomorrow.

I'm having a hard time deciding what to read next (after The Woman in White and all my holiday reading). So I thought I'd let the internet decide for me:
This is every book in my 'to read' pile. Booksin italic have been begun once and then not finished for some reason. What should be the next one I start?

Just a small announcement to let you know that if I go quiet next week it's because I'm away from the 10th until the 18th. I'm still going to be around until Monday but I've got work as well. To add to it my beta is away over Easter. I'm doing my damndest to get the next chapter of An Unedited Account of a Forgotten Victor to her before she leaves and she gets it back to me and *if I'm lucky* I'll have enough internet access to make the edits and get it posted while I'm away.
Anyway, I haven't abandoned anything!
Schedule:
Thursday: Get fic to my wonderful beta (
jesse_kips).
Friday: Write up remaining book reviews and post.
Saturday - Monday: Begin chapter 3.
Tuesday: Off to Manchester!
Wednesday 18th: If fic isn't already posted, post.
And even though no one is interested, I thought I'd share my holiday reading list:
The Woman in White (I want that read before I go because I'm not seeing eye to eye with it).
Goodbye Mr. Chips
The Extraordinary League of Gentleman
Soulless (The Parasol Protectorate)
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
House of Silk (A Sherlock Holmes Novel)
For one week that's a lot, but on holiday (and without the internet) I can power through novels. Also one is very short and one is a graphic novel).

Just a heads up - I've updated my journal theme. I was finding the other one a bit too narrow and the commenting sections weren't working for me.
As I said in my last post; it's been a while since I updated. I have read eleven books since then and will be reviewing them on this journal in small batches. Starting with...
The Marriage Bureau for Rich People by Farahad Zama
You may or may not be aware that I have a deep adoration for The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency and for Jane Austen so how could I not read a book that's described as a mix of the two? I also love Indian culture as my Grandmother was born there (and had a childhood like something from a Frances Hodgson Burnett novel.)

Hi everyone,
I know I've not been around much. RL has been a big factor (long story short, I was very unhappy at work, quit before I could be pushed, and am now unemployed.)
In other news I turned 24, had my hair cut short (from very long), got my upper ear peirced, and am planning to get a tattoo. In a few weeks I'll be visiting one of my oldest and dearest friends for a concert and catch up in Manchester, my goddaughter learned to say my name ("Emmmmm MA'), I might be applying to do a Masters at Manchester, and I'm working on my novel so it's not all bad.
I'm still reading as many books as possible and will update my 1001 list soon (heads up, I'm getting gushy about Caitlin Moran).
I'm also writing fic! I'm sure everyone and their dog is writing a Hunger Games/Sherlock fic but I thought; 'screw it, I need to write one too.' It will be long. It will be S/J. And just imagine Sherlock in a world where there's no outlet for his genius...
So that's it. Just thought I'd share. If you want to see day to day stuff from me I'm emmyangua on twitter and tumblr!
