So for all my claims that I'd commit to blogging, I've failed spectacularly and been too distracted to do so. But I'm trying! I have some excuses, fortunately fairly legitimate ones - a newly gained broken ankle (on the same leg as the errant knee) has been a bit of a burden, although I can't really claim it made it impossible to write, as I've been sat around doing nothing since I found out about it. However, I've just accepted my place on my MPhil course with a 2:1 in my English BA(Hons) so much of the last week has been spent meeting people for goodbyes and celebrations, as much as is possible on one leg...
Anyway, back to business. I'm trying to use my time wisely, reading novels I've failed to find time for - 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' by Ken Kesey, 'Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close' by Jonathan Safran Foer, and 'The Grapes of Wrath' by John Steinbeck - and now making plans to start the research for my 20,000 word research project for next year, while I have a ridiculously large amount of time on my hands.
And I'm also reading Cosmopolitan and Glamour for good measure.
Unfortunately in that list of wise uses of my time, the word 'trying' is crucial. I've spent far more time than I should have killing zombies and sleeping (not at the same time) and I can't claim I didn't enjoy those things. But now I need to do something new, and I've had a few ideas for character types and themes that I might work into something bigger.
In fact, I think I'll go and work on that now.
Yes.
