What Direction Am I Taking?

Well (I always seem to start that way, don't I? Why? My question: why not?), I guess I've told you what I am doing, that I am writing novels, but the real question is, what am I doing besides that. One cannot just have a life in writing novels (that is for those who become rich and famous), and I don't plan on reaching that stage for a little while yet at least.

Well, the plan, the plan, one must always have a plan, mustn't they? Anyway, the plan is to: 1) save for uni, 2) continue writing as much as possible (which will be quite a lot), 3) pick my french studies up again, 4) get back into Basketball, 5) decide what I want to do with the rest of my life besides writing! At the moment, I'm looking to study languages and international relations, but nothing too concrete. I just don't want to settle down to a specialising job (like most 'smart' people do) that I'll get bored out of my mind doing, and only having my writing as an escape. Writing is not an escape, writing is a part of life. You can't write well if life is boring, otherwise there is no inspiration. Get what I mean?

Oh, another thing I wish to do next year, get back into writing poetry and riddles; they are always good fun - less serious or more contemplative than large story writing and creating. Riddles are nice little things I fire off in text messages to bug my friends for the next week while poetry is used in a more...dare I say it, romantic sense. Although, I have written poetry about general things as well, but if flows more better on the other topics. Ah, to be poetic again!

Well, the eye lids are drooping, the metal isn't helping at all, and the parental warning gong of "10 o'clock" is sounding in the recesses of my mind...it must be time to finish!

  1. Maybe because metal is boring.
