I had so many plans, and yet... The tonsillitis refused to clear properly, I returned to work after my sick-line and finished my antibiotics. It was too much, I wasn't ready. Then I was off again. Then back again, and just as I started to think I knew what I was doing the confusion returned, … Continue reading Persistent

I hate writing Covering Letters!
I write a lot. I have nearly two Masters degrees, one in Creative Writing, and yet, I absolutely loathe needing to write Covering Letters for jobs. But, given that I am a writer, I thought it might be worthwhile to discuss the relationship between the jobs world and writing. What is a Covering Letter?

The unemployment rate is ridiculously high in Glasgow... apparently nothing's changed in the last five years, even despite the massive increase in … Continue reading When real life hits
Over a month!
I just saw the date! I haven't posted in so long, I'm sorry. I kept procrastinating. Mañana, next weekend, first thing in the morning. I've been bad. Things have changed a lot. Like A LOT.

Major Update!
I haven't updated anything in ages, can you guess what that means? Though if you're looking at the headline of my blog you'll see what's happened. I got a job! I am now gainfully employed and officially had the job just a few weeks after graduating, how 90's is that? So now I'm two months … Continue reading Major Update!
