Treading Water

It's been just over two weeks since I handed in my last assignment. In this time I've been getting the odd job done here and there, sorting out my flat and generally relaxing. The one thing I haven't done a whole lot of is writing. I had such grand plans for this summer and now they're seeming less like plans and more like good intentions. And as I'm sure you'll agree, good intentions are a waste of time without the determination to back them up.

So here's the new plan. I'm going to write every day for an hour. I don't care about what or for what project, specifics can come later. The important thing is the actual writing. It starts today.

All Done!

That's it. Done. The lot. For this year... I handed in my last assignment yesterday. I'm quite proud of both scripts, but I suspect they won't get especially great marks. The subject matter o each is less than conventional.

But what this really means is that until 11th October I have nothing to do but work towards my personal writing goals. To start with that means more short stories. I've got no end of ideas for those and I'm also considering starting a novel. My anthology piece is a 2500 word (dare I say) fragment of a larger piece that doesn't exist yet. Anyway it'll be an interesting learning experience. The first thing to do is make a list of all my ideas, pick one and then just go for it!

This is going to be a good summer!

Onward!
