Changes

I know it's been a while since I've last written but work has been crazy lately and I haven't had much time to myself. Things are kind of tough, recession and all, but I know we are going to get through this. It's just going to take longer than we had anticipated.

I think I've buried myself in work so that I have an excuse to avoid my own problems but as it turns out, they're not going anywhere. That's a shocker. Now, with the holidays coming up and my family coming to town I guess you could say I'm screwed. That's a cheerful thought before going to bed. As far as it concerns writing, I've been feeling kind of weird lately and I haven't been very productive in this area. Last week I had a thought concerning my genre. I attended the Study in the UK exhibition with my sister. She's studying to become a dietitian and we were checking out the postgraduate options. Looking at the creative writing programs got me thinking that maybe I should test myself in other genres and see if I can fare equally well. An experiment. One that was proved fruitful, since I managed to complete one short story during the weekend. I'm thinking of posting it here; it's probably not much but for someone who has never written anything outside of fantasy ever before, it's surely something.

I'll get back to you, once I've made my mind. Ta ta for now!
