being self-taught in coding sure sounds cool but the truth is that 99% of the learning process consisted of “okay if i delete this part and add this what do i fuck up”

“I was 18 when I wrote that,” she reminds me. “That’s the age you are when you think someone can actually take your boyfriend. Then you grow up and realise no one takes someone from you if they don’t want to leave.”

Just write that fic. Don’t think about how someone else will write it better. Just write the fuckin fic man. Because I have read 100k fanfic where almost every other word was misspelled and the tenses were wrong. Things made no fuckin sense at one point. I had to read sentences aloud and ask my boyfriend what he thought they meant. AND I STILL FUCKIN FINISHED READING THAT FANFIC. And I liked it. Went back to read a few key scenes. I mean I know there are better writers out there. I know that some people have a bigger following. I know that you are scared but just fuckin write that fic man. SOMEONE will read it. SOMEONE WILL ENJOY IT. AND YOU WILL be THAT much happier that you did it.

“No writing is wasted. Did you know that sourdough from San Francisco is leavened partly by a bacteria called lactobacillus sanfrancisensis? It is native to the soil there, and does not do well elsewhere. But any kitchen can become an ecosystem. If you bake a lot, your kitchen will become a happy home to wild yeasts, and all your bread will taste better. Even a failed loaf is not wasted. Likewise, cheese makers wash the dairy floor with whey. Tomato gardeners compost with rotten tomatoes. No writing is wasted: the words you can’t put in your book can wash the floor, live in the soil, lurk around in the air. They will make the next words better.”

sherlock sleeps naked and walks around in a sheet and loves bees and mrs. hudson and doesn’t get that people love him back and faked his death to save john and put everything LITERALLY EVERYTHING before his own emotions so john would have a happy wedding even though seeing john and mary together made him feel like there was a cheese grater scraping away at his heart and yet there are still people that think he is “a machine” and “cold and unfeeling”

ATHENS, Ga. - It was in the best seller section of a Barnes & Noble in this college town that Kathy Rackley found a novel story of her own - a young man by the name of Malcolm Mitchell.
"I mean a chance encounter in a bookstore, how wonderful is that?" said Kathy. She had no idea who Mitchell was. "None whatsoever."
And Malcolm didn’t tell her. “I knew they were going to find out,” Mitchell said. “But I wasn’t going to say it.”
Fact is, Rackley may have been the only one in Athens who didn’t know the name Malcolm Mitchell. Number 26 for the University of Georgia Bulldogs was one of the top recruits in the country a few years ago. He’s Georgia royalty.
And presumably, if Rackley had known that, she wouldn’t have stood in that Barnes & Noble talking his ear off about the book club she had just joined.
"I mean he like stepped back and he said ‘You did? You did?’ and he said, ‘Can I join your book club?’" Rackley recalled.
"And I said, ‘I don’t know if you want to join mine. We’re all 40-, 50-, and 60-year-old women.’"
But Mitchell was undeterred. So now, one of the top wide-receivers in the country has been meeting monthly with his book club lady friends.
He’s the only man, and the youngest by a generation — but Mitchell doesn’t care. Nor does he care what anyone thinks.
"Somebody called me a nerd. That’s not a word that I’m used to hearing," he said. But he’s more than okay with the label. "I was proud of it… It’s like a badge of honor to me, knowing where I came from."
Mitchell confessed that when he started college he could only read at about a junior high level, and it bothered him. So he started putting as much effort into his reading game as his football game.
Every free moment, he had a book in his hand. He’s now reading things he never dreamed he could, and although some of the book club selections he would never pick himself, Mitchell seems to enjoy them all.
After everything he’s accomplished, what’s he most proud of?
"I finished the ‘Hunger Games’ series in about two days," Mitchell said.
Wait, but what about the touchdowns?
"That came natural," Mitchell said. "That’s a gift. I had to work to read."
But his greatest talent may lie in his ability to step so outside his comfort zone, to be able to meet people and focus so sincerely on what they have in common, instead of their trivial differences.
Sometimes football makes men great. And sometimes, great men just happen to play football.
This was one of my favorite stories from 2014.
Stipulating that the entire context of this story is a tragedy that should be a national shame, “Can I join your book club?” made my heart grow three sizes.
Too awesome. I can’t wait to show this to one of my low level kids that loves football.
This is so great. What a fantastic story. :-)
Dawwwww…..
Well that warmed my grinch heart right up!
This is freaking adorable.

My fanfic...
Right. I was asked where it’s located again and the thing is…mostly…I don’t post my fanfic publicly. It’s an odd thing that all my friends roll their eyes at (sometimes secretly and sometimes not so secretly), but seem to accept.
So I have erm a lot of different ao3 handles. A lot of livejournal handles, a few ff.net handles. I scatter my fanfic to the wind because…..I don’t know why. Well I do. It’s bad writing. I know it is and I can’t bring myself to spend too much time with it because I should be doing the other writing. The one that’s part of my career. But still a story gets stuck in my brain and I have to write the damn thing, even if its shitty. So that is why I don’t link out to it but I do have two public-ish handles
1) RPF is found here under this handle
2) Johnlock is found here under this handle
I might post the long fic handle once it’s done.
I know.
It’s weird.
Shut up.
