Well hello there internet. I'm sorry I've been away for so long. I've had quite a hectic few months, but that's no excuse. I shouldn't have neglected you. You were always there for me when I needed you, and when I didn't need you I tossed you away like yesterday's jam.
But if you'll let me explain myself. Firstly, I got a new job. I have a 4 week rota, which means that each week I work a different shift pattern. It does take me a while to get into some sort of routine especially when the routine is ... erm ... routine. But my routine is all over the place. I'm sure I will get used to it, eventually.
Secondly, I got a new boyfriend. We won't spend too much time on this subject as he dumped me after 4 months. Girls, do you always go after 'bad boys' and then get upset because they treat you badly? Yep, me too. So this time I went for a 'nice guy' in the hope that I would be treated better. How wrong I was. Just because someone is nice to everyone else, doesn't mean they'll be nice to you.
Thirdly, I had a literary festival to organise. This was the first Lowestoft Library Literary Festival, and I was chairman of the committee so for about 3 months I was eating, sleeping, breathing festival stuff. It took place on Saturday 28th September and went down really well. We had 8 authors (including myself) who read from their work and signed their books.

Fourthly, I went on holiday. Admittedly it was only for a week, but it takes some planning and recovering. But we won't dwell on this as I went with the boyfriend who doesn't want me anymore.
Fifthly, I procrastinate. I have nothing more to say on that matter!!
Oh, and I forgot - I had an art exhibition to get ready for too! I haven't been this busy in a long time.

But it's coming towards the end of the year, and even though I'm not one to make resolutions, I am going to sort myself out and focus on my writing. And I set up this blog to track my journey through the world of writing, so here I revive my blog and everything that goes along with it. I hope to see you along the way.
