…as to the lack of content for a good couple of months, if not more, then your answer is this: I actually have a job, as of today. I’ll be writing away at my new position, as well as working on my first full-length manuscript, and I’ll return to the blogosphere at some point in [ READ MORE ]

Tomorrow, I go for a job interview, for Money Marketing. This comes after two days of nine-hour conference learning sessions on financial journalism, fifty applications to various companies for various positions, forty-eight rejections, and far too many hours spent watching people mill around the Job Center Plus in north London like someone has just died.

Back to School.

It’s January, and I’ve just renewed this domain name (and the relevant WordPress domain add-on) for another year. In the recession, I think it’s important to make use of anything you spend money on, and I plan to. Things are getting more intense and exciting this year, though I share the same doe-eyed wonder when perceiving the [ READ MORE ]

One Saga Finishes, Another Begins

Tuesday was a very odd day in terms of moving on to the next stage in my life as a growing adult. I was sat on the sofa, taking in both the background television and some good old Dan Abnett swashbuckling fiction. The phone rang, and I picked it up, the private number code signifying [ READ MORE ]

It’s been a week of mixed emotions and mixed events in and around London, but I’m now sitting comfortably in the living room, pondering my moves for the coming week. With not much work done on the current novel I’m a little frustrated with myself, but this week will be adequate time to catch up, [ READ MORE ]

As of this weekend, I am no longer a reporter at Money Marketing as my internship has now finished. I got fourteen articles up on the web and a ton of stuff for their printed counterpart, so I’m happy with the workload. In my spare time between news-rushes, I completed 15% of my novel, which [ READ MORE ]

Jesus, it’s been a tense couple of days. The Board of Education decide my final university grade this week, and the letters started being sent out today or yesterday. I’m literally 1% off a 2.1 in my submitted grades from Greenwich, so it’ll be interesting to see whether the Board decide to bump me up [ READ MORE ]

Back in the country finally, after a great weekend in Scotland, and a wonderfully sunny and relaxing week in Italy. Finished a fair bit of reading and novel work, not to mention the first installment of Peter F. Hamilton’s latest space opera, The Dreaming Void. Next one is winging its way to me via Amazon along [ READ MORE ]

Just got back in from Edinburgh last night, after spending four days in Scotland seeing family and enjoying both Wil Anderson and Rich Hall at the Fringe Festival, along with a few talks and debates at the Book Festival, too. Came back to a ridiculous amount of email and comment emails, so I’ll work through [ READ MORE ]
