Re-writing

Jeeze... Going over my old Dream Man story and it needs a LOOOOOOOOT of work.

Bad writing, self insert OC, let alone all the internalised misogyny... 

Work in progress!

Hi,

So I have an office job now and haven't felt like writing in a while. That's not to say I haven't wanted to write but...

So I thought if I hopped on here and updated a bit I might be a bit more likely to write.


So we'll see I guess.

Yep, I'm now a journalist for Broadbent Media which is a startup media company, so that's pretty cool :D

I'm actually a contract journalist for them but yeah, it's awesome :D

So... apparently it's been a while since I wrote here...

Life is good. Graduated and all that so that's pretty pleasing. Looking for jobs which is a pain and not particularly fruitful but hey, gotta keep trying!

I don't have anything too exciting to tell you by way of life really. My Grandmother passed away a little over a month ago. She was a strong and wilful woman who wrote and read voraciously until her body and then her mind failed her over the last five years. My Grandfather is deciding what to do now that she is gone. We'll see...

I haven't done much writing in a while but I have some ideas involving fleshing out my DD stories found here fiction-freak.deviantart.com/g… We'll see though. I'd like to make them into a series but I need to START to make that happen!

Anyway, I'll talk to you later maybe :)

Catcha,
FF

Well it's been a while since we last spoke (way too many months probably) and I'm very behind.

I'm behind in journals, deviations, messages and life in general. I need to sign up for my classes and when I get back to uni I need to get a job too.
Oh and guess what? I'm in my final year of journalism and they're laying of journalists left right and centre!!!!
So basically I'm going to take whatever job I can and if I can't get any then I'll just get something to tide me over in between and keep looking. I want to use the degree I've spent three years of my life getting damn it!

Okay, what else have I been up to? Erm..... I did an internship at my local paper. I had to do 100 hours and it was good and I thought I'd done really well. I even got a front page story! But according to the editor who had nothing to do with me or my writing the entire time I was there informed me that I have no natural skills and had no grasp on any of the basics. He did however tell me that I got better in the last few weeks. THAT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS WHEN HE TOLD ME WHAT I'D DONE WRONG!!!!

*Ahem* Anyway... I'm at home at the moment helping out Mum while I'm on holidays, I've been getting up at 5am every weekday morning to help her get everything ready for her coffee van. I sleep like a log now, no late nights for me!
Oh and we went and watched Brave and Ice Age 4 yesterday.
Brave is utterly fantastic and hilarious and the animation was beautiful and the story line was so engaging! For example at one of the really serious and sad moments I could hear a little boy up the row sobbing his little heart out! I just wanted to cuddle him, poor thing!
Ice Age 4 was funny and I couldn't get over the amount of adult jokes in it! I mean it made it even better because it was a kids movie that had more adult laughter than child but there was more than enough slapstick to keep them going.
It was well worth the eye strain headache I got :D

I should really get back into writing again. I have a new steampunk story idea that I should get underway while it's still fresh in my mind.

My boyfriend and I are still together. It'll be about ten months this month. Sheesh.... and to think that one of my friends wants to be engaged by the end of their first year together. I'm more of a 5 year girl thank you very much! And then of course an 8 year engagement. ;-p Can you tell I'm in no rush?
I think I'm too happy with him though because I can't write any more for my Hail King Arthur story because I have to be in a bad/depressed mood to write it! Curses! :giggle: I really want to finish it so I'll have to see what I can do...
Actually I have an essay I wrote for uni that I should put up here. I'm very happy with it, I might fix the conclusion before I post it though.

Well I'm sure I've bored you enough, how have you been?
