Black Mirror, and a rant on body image
Oct. 18th, 2008 11:25 amI need a project. I haven’t written anything (aside from school papers, which don’t count) since the Wonderfalls story, and my mind is as foggy and gray and claustrophobic as a particularly bad episode of Law & Order: SVU.
I should eat more fruit. Sometimes that helps.
Anyway, if you want for me to write anything this is the time to ask. I’m thinking of resurrecting the Rubinyan/Taybur/Imajane fic or possibly attempting something Pushing Daisies; or more Torchwood is always fun.

I’ve been reading Nancy Werlin books recently, which probably doesn’t help with the claustrophobic thing—her main characters are intense and lonely and angry and strangely compelling with it.
Sometimes. Some of her books I love, like Locked Inside, but some not so much. Are You Alone on Purpose? is useless except that its title is essentially a thematic statement for the rest of her books, but it’s the first thing she published so I’ll cut some slack.
But Black Mirror—oh, how I despise Black Mirror.
( Black Mirror, plus body image rant )
But Locked Inside is a really good book. Really it is. It’s just so much HARDER to write good reviews.
