Nerd Church - Media Overload: Quality, Quantity, and Diversity
There is more media and entertainment in our world today than ever before.
Even putting to one side the numerous web-pages and status updates that are published every single second, the rate at which new books, films, TV shows, songs, etc. are being created and published is immense.

Friday Fics Fix - Digging For Victory
Hello 2019! We got fanfiction, we got Bucky Bear, let's get down to it!
'Theoretically, she knew he must go other places sometimes, but it didn't seem to happen often, and from his overall air of nervousness, he seemed to be uncomfortable with it too.'
One of my favourite things on this planet is fanfiction which uses self-care and general mental-health recovery as its focus.
When the character involved just so happens to be my Bucky-bear, aka Bucky Barnes, aka The Winter Soldier, it's like icing on the cake.
(In related news, I'm hungry and would very much like some cake, with or without icing.)

Month In Review(s) - December 2018
In order to fully boot 2018's a** out the back door, there's still a little business to attend to - in this case, December's wrap-up.
Except for Christmas (which is always amazing - I love Christmas,) December sucked.

Nerd Church - The Writer Diaries: I Need To Be More Patient With My Writing
I've recently started re-writing a story/novella/novel* that I started writing when I was a teenager... about a decade ago.
And I want it to be finished.
But I know that there's a butt-tonne of work to do to it (I'm basically re-writing the whole thing and making it less... melodramatic... as well as changing the focus a bit.)
*It's been the length of all of these at one time or another 🙈

The Bookish Diversity Link List 2019
Let's get moving my dearest nerdlets!
I didn't manage to make 2018's list all that I wanted it to be - not least because 2018 was stressful and hard as hell.
2019 though? Let's kick some butt!
