Deductions of a Distracted Damsel

NaNo currently underway, and I fear that during November there may not be much time for blogging; but despite that I have discovered something so decidedly fantastic and utterly amazing that it must needs be shared.  Two words for you, my friends.

Sherlock Holmes.

Before you get on my case (Sherlockian pun intended?), and begin dancing wildly around the room exclaiming with despair and wonderment about how anyone could go this long in life without having discovered such an esteemed fellow, allow me to explain myself.

Naturally, I have always known of the man.  (I would like to add here that I believe he is part Vulcan, whatever else anyone may claim.)  I have a rather incomplete Adventures of Sherlock Holmes that has recently come to frustrate me, as it does not include much of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's works surrounding the fellow.  However, I have never gotten around to reading it. *gasp* *horror*  I know, it's a horrendous atrocity, but I have begun to mend my ways.  I have also, naturally, seen the movies starring Jude Law and Robert Downey Junior; and of course quite enjoyed them.  Despite all of this, my true admiration for the character only fully began recently, upon my exposure to BBC's Sherlock.  I ate through both seasons in a very short time, and delved into my limited Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.  I have found myself in search of a more complete works; something closer to 1,000+ pages ought to do the trick.  In the meantime, I hope the meager amount I have access to will be able to tide me over until then.  If not... I'll just sit around reading this website.  That should keep me under control.

Continuing on, and to give some credit to Holmes' esteemed colleague, Dr. Watson, I must offer up this site as well.  It's utterly fantastic; the creators of the show have also created the website of Holmes and Watson's blog to go along with the world of 221B Baker Street.  They are quite enjoyable to read; and I am really jealous of the fellow who got paid to create those blogs.  What a wonderful way to spend one's time!  Talk about a writing job to dream about...

Just a bit to tide you all off until November is over; and to let me get in a bit of blogging about a wonderful subject.  See you all on the other side of November!
