I'm alive!

Oh wow, it's been ages since my last post! In fact, it's been ages since I've been on the blog, or the internet in general. I've had the writer's block from hell this summer, and haven't been able to write a single word. Coupled with a new job, things not being so great in my private life, I've been pretty absent. Things are starting to look better for me now though: I'm moving away again, and I am finishing school this time. I am taking more courses this term than you're supposed to, but I want to do them, so why not. Maybe I can actually finish my bachelor's degree earlier. That would be awesome. Maybe I can finally realise my dream of working in publishing. 

As to my own writing ... I have a couple of ideas bouncing around in my head, but first of all I really need to do my edits. I'm almost done with the edits for Measured Doses, and I need to go through Inner Demons properly before I do the edits for Yesterday's Tears. For that matter, I need to edit Inner Demons so I can actually submit it! 

I'll be back people, I swear! My life will take a (hopefully) better turn by next week, because that's when I'm moving away from my hometown again. At the start of the summer I didn't mind being back here, but now ... well, I didn't ever really care much for my hometown. 

I'll be back with more updates! Now I'm off to do something I've promised to do, but haven't had time for! ^_^ 

A quick Saturday update

I've been absent for a little while here now, and I'm sorry for that. I'm not a very good blogger, apparently. I'll try to do better, but I generally don't have much to blog about. I've decided to blog a bit more generally; to not have set themes. Might also be a little more about personal stuff, but hopefully no one will mind. 

I have recently started studying again, after my last education went to shit. I got allergic and I hated it, so no point in continuing. Now I'm back to studying, something more me than what I've previously studied; Language and Literature, specialicing in English. Currently I have a class of English Grammar, which might kill me before the semester is over. 

The writing ... hasn't been going so well lately. I was really on a roll with the current WIP, Yesterday's Tears, but I lost my momentum on it. I hope to get it back, now that I've figured out what I did wrong and fixed it. I'm also writing something else, but it's a secret right now, until I'm sure it'll stick.

I've gotten the flu too, so I'm not feeling too great. I've been slacking on the couch all day now though, watching movies, so now I'm gonna try to write some. I really need the research books I bought off Amazon for my secret WIP, but they take forever to get here, but I can get at least the first chapter done without them, so I'll just have to see which WIP I settle on. 

I hope everyone has a nice Saturday!

A Personal Update: What's Going On With TT

I haven't ever posted a personal update on here, but I feel now's the time. I've been kind of absent lately, because of stuff happening in my life. 

As those who've followed me on LJ might know, I used to be a hairdresser. I quite because I got allergic to a lot of the stuff I to work with, so I saw no reason continuing. So for the past eight-ish months I've been working in a convenience store. 

Now, I've decided to get a new education, one which is a hell of a lot better suited to me than the old one. It really didn't fit me at all. I'm moving away from my hometown (FINALLY!) to take my bachelor's degree in Languages and Literature. As for the Languages part, I can only chose between Norwegian and English. Guess which one I'm going to choose? 

This meant I had to move out of my apartment, which I've been busy doing for a while. Well, not moving, but packing. That and the school stuff (will I get in? What do I do if I don't get in?) have kept my nerves on end, so I haven't been around as much as I used to. Haven't written much lately either. 

I'm living with my mother for two weeks now until I move. I'm working until next Friday, then I'll move during the weekend. The little town I'm moving to is about three-four hours away from my hometown. I still have a lot to do; I need to sort and pack what I want to take with me, pack down what I don't want to take with me. I need to work almost every day, except today and Sunday. 

But now that I know I got into school, and I know I have a place to live, I feel a lot calmer. I'm itching to get back to writing, and as it's already August, I'm going to have to change things around a bit as I need to knock that Kiss Me At Midnight anthology story out before anything else. 

But back to school ... The school I'm going to has this student paper, and I think I'm going to contact them about being a part of it. I want to write for them, of course, but also do layout and pictures. I just bought myself a new camera with my royalties, a SLR Nikon D3100. Haven't actually gotten to try it out yet, as I bought it yesterday, but my dad (who knows his stuff about cameras) said this would be the best for me. 

I'm really looking forward to starting school again, actually. I had to do it now before I got too old (I'm not really old, but it feels like it when the majority of students probably will come straight out of high school). 

So yeah. I'm back online until next Friday, at least, then I will probably take a little break as I get settled in in my new town and start school. There will probably still be posts though; as I'm quite fond of scheduling. But we'll see how much time I have.
