Wow, I haven't updated LJ in so long it took me about 5 minutes to figure out which button to press!
So, yeah, it's been a while. Is anyone even still here? Very quick update to bring you up to speed, just in case you care: I graduated from Bangor University nearly a year ago with an upper 2nd class degree in English language & creative writing, and I've been putting that degree to good use by...becoming a part-time cleaner. Yeah, this economy sucks for graduates. Been struggling with living with my parents for a while, but in a week I will be spreading my wings and moving to London! I have applied to London Film School to do an MA in screenwriting, though I'm still waiting on my acceptance/rejection letter. Whether I get in or not, though, I really want to be living in London. I am absolutely in love with it.
Anyway, my shitty job has left plenty of time for me to be creative...too bad I didn't utilise that time very well. I took part in NaNoWriMo, but a severe case of writers' block followed by a severe case of the flu meant that I only just passed the halfway mark. If anyone is interested in reading it in first draft form, it is available here. I started a blog, which focuses on both nothing and everything, and rarely gets updated (though I'm hoping I will get more inspiration for that soon). I have also started a new YouTube channel with drunk movie reviews. So far I have reviewed the first Twilight film, and the second is on its way. I have planned a tie-in blog where I give a proper (i.e. sober) critique of each film I watch, instead of just screaming at the screen and facepalming.
Here is the first episode for anyone interested:
I have opted into monetisation to hopefully get a bit of extra cash to see me through my masters degree, so the more you spread it around the better! (But only if you like it/want to, obviously).
Other than that, there haven't really been any major developments, but the next few months should have a lot of them - hence me restarting on here!
Hope everyone is dandy!
