I was planning to avoid writing fiction until I'd finished all my work for university, but I like writing fanfiction and I'm starting to feel that my creativity is suffering under the workload and I'll probably go a bit mad if I continue to deny myself for the next hundred days, so I'm going to attempt a nice gentle writing meme ( Read more... )

I love this meme. It boils my journal down to its absolute essence.

Today, I rushed from London to Brighton for a seminar that, I discovered upon arrival, had been cancelled ( Read more... )

Yesterday, my brother, my mother, three of my brother's friends and I came second in a pub quiz! This was in part because one round involved naming European countries from a map, and my knowledge of European geography had improved quite a bit recently, due to, um.
