The past few weeks have been extremely trying with lots of ups and downs. At one point I believed I'd taken on too much, but now I'm in a much more comfortable place and ready to get back to blogging.
I'm currently studying an undergraduate English Language module as well as working full time, rehearsing most nights for a play and trying to write a novel. Last week I was a wreck. I still hadn’t learnt my lines, I was struggling through coursework, work was busy and I hadn’t done any writing. Somehow, I pushed through it (with the help of chocolate and lots of tea) and am pleased with what I’ve achieved. My coursework is done, my lines learnt and I have begun writing my novel. So okay I only have about a thousand words, but compared to the zero I had on Friday, I’m pretty chuffed. I don’t work well without deadlines and the fact that there isn’t a deadline for my novel has always meant that it seems to sink to the bottom of the priority list, but now I’m applying for a Masters in Creative Writing for this September, and the application requires five thousand words of a novel, so it’s given me the kick up the bum of motivation that I needed. I’ll keep you posted on the novel.
So that’s me done explaining why I haven’t written a blog entry in a while, so let’s get to business, what to expect in this blog.
The next blog entry I write will be continuing the fantasy theme of the previous post. Last time I looked at the good vs the bad fantasy hero, and next time I will be looking at what makes a good fantasy plot.
If you have any comments or examples on good or bad fantasy heroes or even fantasy plots you like for next time then please feel free to reply.
