I hope your throat gets better soon. :( My best friend was feeling very blah about her skills as a writer and why even bother when there was a new baby to raise, but it really helped her out when she found some women at church (maybe not the best setting for you to look considering the dream. ;) ) who like writing and now they trade off babysitting once a week or twice a month so one can have some free time for writing. It's really gotten her excited about writing again and she has someone to talk to about it who understands (I wouldn't say I'm not an artist, but I definitely have different feelings on writing (currently hating the thought of it due to incomplete degree) and also a lack of understanding what it's like to be married or with kids). Maybe you could start a writers club at the library? Then you'd have a reason to write on their time and you'd have a program to compete with the peppy newcomer.
Sorry I wasn't a better Sherlock buddy. I'm one of the evil masses that saw it early on YouTube or similar sites that only had it briefly before copyright caught up to them. :) Not exactly pirating, but close enough. Sadly I'd come to "hate" fandom by the time the show was actually on PBS and I'd transferred that bitterness to the show itself. Martin of course was flawless anyway but there didn't seem to be as much of him as last series.
I have quite a stack of (comic) books to read but I'm going to recommend the African one to my sister. She likes to read children and YA fantasy stuff and most of the kids she teaches are African-American so it might be something she could rec to get them excited to read. She challenges them to read over summer and if they read more books than her they get a prize.
PS I was more of a Tiny Toons fan, but I wouldn't object to them starting to show Animaniacs on TV again. We need a good looney tunes based cartoon on TV, enough of letting Disney dominate. We were never a Disney family growing up, it was all Warner Brothers. :)
