General stuff in OD

Happy Towel Day! And happy Wear the Lilac Day! And happy Geek Pride Day!

I realised that, apart from Talk Mobile shenanigans, I haven’t really given you a general update in ages.

Mind you, that’s because I haven’t really been up to much.

My creative writing class has started again. There’s a few newbies (a couple new to the course, a couple who did the now definct morning class and changed over) and I actually have smoking buddies now. Which is cool.

I’m still getting nagged by my tutor to add more description to my stuff. Not sure how long that’ll continue since the last homework I handed in was a very graphic description of a crime scene.

Sadly, I didn’t make it class this week. I couldn’t sleep on Sunday night and when I left the house on Monday to sign on, I felt rough. My lags were like jelly, my head was pounding and I was struggling to stop myself throwing up. I did hope the walk to the job centre would help me shake it off, but no luck. Thankfully it seemed to be just a 24 hour thing.

On Tuesday, I had to go to hospital for more x-rays on my collarbone. It’s healing fine and, because I don’t have any pain and can move my arm freely, I don’t have to go back about the problem. Yay!

The next 2-3 weeks are going to be big for me. First off, I should find out about the crime writing competition I entered. I basically know I have no chance, seeing as how I literally finished the first draft of the story on the day I had to submit it, but still. Then I find out about the New Writers North award I entered. Hopefully that’ll come with money and mentoring to get my book finished. Fingers crossed.

Have to look back a few entries to see what competitions I mentioned there and see what’s happening with them. Thank FSM quite a few shops round here have 2 litre bottles of Dr Pepper on sale for a quid, may need quite a few of them.

Thinking of doing a video entry cos I haven’t done one of them in a while. Quite a while actually. I’ll see.

And I’ll stop boring you now.
