Hello, my pretties...
It has been a very long time, and though you might not believe me, I have been checking in on you lovely people occasionally. I have no internet in my home, so sitting freezing to death in a Mitchell library. But that's ok.
It's been a hard summer for me and a lot of people I know, which is a shame - will we ever have a summer like we dream of? Happiness, blue skies, romance. Do things like that even exist now? I'm not allowed to complain though. I'm thinking about this new thing... where I stop pitying myself so much and start getting on with my life. And that is what this year is about - getting on with my life. Moving on, starting anew, being a success, maybe getting thin if I have the energy after all that other stuff. So, I'm sorting out a plan.
Part of that is going to be getting more involved here as well. I am very busy, but I don't have an excuse not to be submitting since I have to write as part of my course now - meaning there should be at least one new piece or revision a week. I'll try and submit it even if I don't like, 'cause that is sorta the point isn't it? I also picked up a pencil and pad the other day, for the first time in months. It is a shame that I have neglected these parts of my life, but I guess I'm just not one of those people who express their current emotions in their art - only in retrospect.
Anyway, that's the plan, so kick me if I fail, yeah? I'm relying on you guys.
