So all you've seen is my work...
I thought you may be getting a little fed up of just seeing my work. But truth is i've been busy. Almost typed busty, and that I most definately am not.
But yeah, I've been busy. I'm lucky enough to be quite flexible with my life, but recently I've had deadlines coming out of my ears, and a part time job to afford those deadlines, so i haven't really had much free time. I've been on conferences for journalists, went to the Periodicals Training Council Awards on Friday, and have been thoroughly enjoying the life of a journalist. But it's only now that I realise I've missed out on the one thing I really enjoy, and that's writing.
It'll get better though, because I will do my print project next year where I'll write a feature on something I want to do it on, rather than having to do it, but I can't wait to write for a living. Because even my Disso isn't 100% fun. It's about 50% fun and 50% effort. It's on a topic I love, Objectivity, but there's still the problem that it's an academic piece and needs relevant references and literature to back it up, which makes it a little bit boring and in turn makes my heart sink a little.
But it can be fun, becuase I will do the research on what I want to do. Just noticed I put "I WILL DO THE RESEARCH", i think that's a personal threat to myself rather than just subconcious writing. But I need to knuckle down and get on with it, so I can get a decent job. I've already passed my NCTJ for 60wpm Shorthand, and to those of you who think that's gobbledeegook then wait till you see the actual shorthand...
But for now this will be the only outlet where I can be me and write. And I promise to do so, when i'm not booking interviews, capturing footage or learning law. And when i'm not getting beaten by James on Pro Evo. :I
Oh yeah, and a little P.S.(Although the postman does not actually send this) - I took part in a world record the other day, which was an excuse to wear bright red ladies tights - not the nicest experience but you should see the certificate!
