I've just applied for a job as a publishing assistant at a children's book publisher in Somerset. I would love that job. Otherwise, the plan is to stay at NHS Direct until they get rid of me, or find a different job in the NHS I think if that doesn't seem viable.
My writing class was so nice to me on Monday. I took in my first chapter which I really thought was absolute rubbish, and all I really wanted was for them to tell me whether or not I need to start it over from scratch. They said no and in very kind terms. I was most pleased and surprised! And then I went to my tutorial afterward with my teacher and he said some really nice things as well. He said that if anyone should do the MA I should, and this was so good to hear especially after the depressingness of my writing dissertation. I did perfectly well on that in the end, nothing spectacular, but a quite respectable mark. It was all a fairly demoralising experience and my confidence in my writing, always a little unsteady, was quite shaken. I'm feeling much better now. I would so love to do a masters, but of course the money makes it impossible. Oh, at times like these I wish I was English!
The quality of my LJ entries seems to be deteriorating however. Oh well.
