Okay, I'm on top of my work enough that I think I can break my hiatus a few days early. I need to lug my baby teapot to the library and spend some quality time with Blumenfeld (my current best friend) this afternoon, but I'm feeling more in control.

Quick life update!

Currently listening to: the new Metric album, and ENORMOUS amounts of musicals.

Currently reading: Gao Xingjian's One Man's Bible, and a book of short stories by Saadat Hasan Manto.

Currently writing: my History Boys fic, which is SO CLOSE to being finished, but still. . .refuses to be finished. I think I might hole up tonight with some white wine and [livejournal.com profile] pogrebin's HP fics, which is usually a failsafe combination when it comes to getting the words flowing.

I do! Especially Help, I'm Alive and Gimme Sympathy.

Hah, yes, those have been the stand-outs for me so far as well. Good stuff!

I want to listen to it more but it is not very good writing music, and I am close enough to finishing this HB fic that I need a steady background of music that encourages word production.

NEW METRIC ALBUM WHERE

Oh my god, you. Sadly, reading your fic has exactly the opposite effect on me. I want to abandon writing and just cheer you on, because your words, man. <33333.

PS- History Boys fanfic? Did I miss it? I have been only sporadically checking eljay in the last few days. Link meee!

PPS- Oh my god, Manto is brilliant, right? I mean, awkward and breathless and thinky but brilliant.

You realise that you CANNOT TELL ME things like 'your writing makes me want to abandon writing' for fear that *I* will abandon writing out of sheer terror that you actually MIGHT, right?

(<333333)

PS - !!!! RIGHT HERE (http://mercurial-wit.livejournal.com/46811.html)

PPS - I haven't read a lot yet and I think it'd be a bit better if I knew the relevent history, but yeah! Very interesting.

Eeee. No, no. Obv the only answer is for us both to keep writing, in a vicious AWESOME cycle, right?

Re: Manto, hah, yeah, I know what you mean. I kind of approach it like I would Chekov or Kafka's short stories, with the foreknowledge that so much is going to sail over my head. Mostly I'm just amazed at the sorts of incredibly blasphemous/sexy/'immoral' things he said in his time. (PS- if you do manage to get your hands on it, I know I've said it before but Ambarish Satwick's Perineum. It's about the end of British rule in India, so a more accessible period, and just hilarious & dark & brilliant.)

*is reading your fic right now*

Right. So. I know how to close my html tags. *facepalm*
