I would do anything to be in Rings of Power

And/or write for it. Well, maybe not. I enjoy seeing what the writers and actors portray with every new episode.

Spoilers ahead.

But also in my humble opinion, the actor who stopped playing Adar in season 1 made the wrong choice. If I was in this show, I would devote my life to it, and I wouldn’t care if I was typecast and it was the only acting job I ever had. But then again, I’m not him. So far the new Adar actor is okay, just takes some getting used to his face, especially when I keep watching season one and two all over again and again.

Also, the actress who played mother . I just call her mother because her son says it so much it’s annoying in the first season. But yeah, she also left the show so they just killed her character off. Which I guess is fine except her character was very central in season one. I guess the actor had her reasons for not staying in the show for even the second season. I think this is the most obsessed I’ve ever been with a TV show.

But I’m just watching it while I sit and eat . So it takes me ages to get through it. I’m just not watching anything else apart from Only Murders in the Building. I don’t actually watch a lot of TV every day. I’m not sat in front of the screen for hours and hours. It literally only takes me like 5 to 10 minutes to eat and watch a bit of Rings of Power at the same time. And then it’s back to recovery and responsibilities.

Since I started blogging again, I’ve made myself seem like a TV-oholic. But I don’t binge watch all night like I used to, and I don’t even watch movies all in one go.

I’m still dealing with hyperthyroidism and the next six weeks are going to be telling. I will have a blood test and the endocrinologist will be able to let me know about my thyroid health. This has plagued me for years and I only got diagnosed months ago finally. So of course mainly I’m in bed, but responsibilities need doing no matter what. So it’s okay for me to have one little obsession of 10 minutes three times a day watching TV. And then sometimes blogging about it, which takes about 15 minutes.

I was just so upset by season two episode five, maybe my obsession will ease if the show is just completely dark and depressing from now on. I absolutely hate that woman and that boy in Numenor. I am so mad and sad that they killed off Valandil. So angry! 😡

Welcome to the Thinkerbeat Anthology Interview Q: What inspired you to start publishing? A: I wrote my first story when I was really young. I used to sit with a typewriter and clunk away at the keys for hours. I’d make a lot of mistakes, but I kept trying. Later, I started sending stories out for publication. I got a lot of rejections, just like everyone does. In college I studied the music business and learned about managing talent. I also played around with the idea of becoming a computer programmer, but my creative side won out and I spent a number of years working in the music business. Down the road, I got an offer to write a children’s book for a publisher. I thought, well, 500 words, how hard can that be? It took me months to finish it. You spend more time describing the illustrations on the page than you do putting words on the page. The staff editor was never happy and we disagreed on a lot of things. But I learned from him. I also kept in mind that if I didn’...

Guest Post from Author Samantha Tonge on Her New Novella

How to Get Hitched in Ten Days is my first novella and the story just flew onto the page. It is a tale of friendship, unrequited love and about turning around the challenges that occasionally strike us all as we go through life. Mikey helps the boyfriend of his best friend and flat mate, Jasmine, turn around a disastrous Valentine’s Day proposal. Early reviews are coming in and I am thrilled that many readers are reacting to Mikey in the way I intended – they all love him and wish he was part of their lives. As one reviewer, Coffeeholic Bookworm says: “ I want some Mikey in my life! Mikey isn’t your typical hero. He’s soft, fluffy, sensitive and yummy. His friendship with Jasmine was admirable. He’s a keeper ” Do you have a best friend? Someone you can turn to in your hour of need? I think I created this character because, apart from my lovely husband, I don’t. And sometimes life gets difficult. You don’t necessarily want to burden your fami...

Cathleen Townsend: Dragon Hoard; And Other Tales of Fairie

Featured on my blog today is a charming little story of the origins of this book from author Cathleen Townsend. Enjoy... Dragon Hoard and Other Tales of Faerie came out of a desire for more fairy tales that felt true to the spirit of the original stories I’d read as a child. We were poor when I was young, and any book given to me was a treasure. One day, when my parents were visiting friends, the kind hostess noticed me sitting quietly in the corner with nothing to do, and she gave me a marvelous book. It was old, published in the Forties. The binding was fragile, but it had over a thousand pages, printed on thin paper with double columns like a Bible. It was a collection of children’s literature, with all the old standbys—Mother Goose and the Three Little Pigs and such—but it also had poetry by Shakespeare, and whoever had compiled it had chosen versions of folklore that required me to stretch to read it. It became my most treasured possession. I pored over descriptio...
