Do you see where I've been hiding in this hide-and-seek?

As a distraction from the latest medical stressors, I seem to be participating in [community profile] threesentenceficathon for the first time. It is just as well that it is not an anonymous exchange, since all three prompts [edit: +1] I have filled so far could be obviously traced to me; nonetheless they are the first creative writing of any kind I have done all year. I may copy one of them to AO3 if the recipient approves. I don't know most of the requested fandoms. The songfic component interests me. I continue to feel I am not designed for fandom generally, but I am enjoying the experiment. I got out of the house before sunset and after a squall of rain which cleared just in time for clouds in the east crumbling like embers and piling up in the west like wet-inked mountains at the end of the street. Hestia has been sticking close to [personal profile] spatch, especially when he's in bed and she can make herself a little black challah behind his knees. I made oatmeal with goat's milk and continue not to love this year.

Oh, sorry, about all the random comments and editing, I went out today, I have evidently less brain than I optimistically thought, but:

re. 3 sentences and the 500 word poetry meme - I was thinking about that, and went to look at the poetry meme again, and I can see that most of the time I average about 6 sentences to 50 words when I'm writing like that. When I write short, I tend to default to a very terse sort of style that works that way, or dialogue-only. (I was looking through the current post and even when I had an idea, I was just, oh, yeah. This is why I don't do this! XD)

Although in the process, I have located two possible replacement random poetry sites, so I shall do the poetry meme again, because that was always my favourite way to get me writing again if I needed it.

Also, unrelated, but I assumed you would want to know: I gave up on my play that maybe had David Collings, because he still hadn't appeared and an affair was going to happen that I wasn't up for, and started listening to The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club (although lit. 5 mins as yet.)

Enjoy! Martin Jarvis should do enough breaking down to make up for the lack of David Collings. I have been listening to Bill Nighy as Charles Paris in The Cinderella Killer and he's/it's wonderful.

It comes to a thing when you have to find Martin Jarvis to break down instead of David Collings! XD It seems good so far anyway, yes.

Glad you're enjoying the Charles Paris ones. I might have to see about finding the first ones, because those two on BBC Sounds seem very late in the series.

Yay. I sort of anti-imprinted on Ian Carmichael as Wimsey in the television adaptations, but enjoyed him much more than I had expected on radio.

I think his face his all wrong for it, and that isn't such a handicap on radio. XD

And Julian Rhind-Tutt is in the first one.

Uljabaan! XD I think there are some off-air recordings on Radio Echoes & IA as well.
