Writing...

Oh my gods!

I've just had the most enormous kick up the arse to get back into writing! After having an in-depth discussion with Sophie McKenzie and Robert Muchamore and their publicists/editors a couple of weeks ago and deciding that yes, it's finally time for me to head back to college to 'hone my skills', I am here. In a creative writing class. About freaking time right?!

I've clearly been neglecting this blog for far too long and just 30 minutes into this class, I can feel my inner inspiration unblocking and thoughts that just want to leap out of me on to a page. Reading some of my old writing again has made me really want to re-evaluate it and work harder to create a more interesting and readable blog. I've learnt so much in such a short space of time already and I can't wait to share some new ideas and musings with you all.

It's all a bit incredible really, my journey back to here. I started this blog when I was actually too depressed to even post anything! I slowly started posting bits and pieces last year inbetween trying to keep busy to take my mind off of my life. Sadly, it made my posts suffer and I only managed to spit out one review, which reading back now, is possibly one of the most horrendous pieces of writing that has ever left my body via pen/pencil/whatever...

Still I think the time has now come for me to get back on that horse! So ahoy for now and I'll be back...

Happy New Year! (far too late...) :P

Well, this feels far more neglected than I thought it would be over the Christmas and New Year period... Happy Holidays to everybody reading though! I am currently still working on that second review, but I'm now trying to fit it around a full time job, redecorating our building site of a house, rehearsals for a show (to be performed in April), general story writing and anything else that life decides to throw at me along the way! (Not necessarily excluding finding time to travel to see my boyfriend and celebrating many of my friends 21st birthdays, as they're mostly due around now!) Whew! Sorry for that outburst, I think I needed it... :P

I'll be back soon! :)

Happy Reading!
