I've just noticed that I seemed to think there were 29 days in April. Oh dear; I think I may be going slightly mad.

Not much to report really. I have 5 days and 2 hours left of school, and the exam season is now breathing down my back. I really should care a little more, but the only passion I have at the moment is in writing.

And I'm skint. I'm currently trying to pay for various meet ups (bowling, town, restaurants; things like that), A trip to London, and two holidays, to France and New York. I could ask for more hours at work of course, but with my exams coming up, I'm not sure that's such a good thing. Maybe it'll do me good to be strapped for cash for a bit; it'll teach me something of budgeting >.<

Hmm, three day weekend this week. Sleepover fest with my cousin here we go :D

So, tomorrow's the last day of April, and where did the month go?

I wrote 15,000 words for the April Fools competition. I'm proud of that achievement, but it's been a push for those words at times. I needed a serious project up again, just like in January where I wrote 60,000 words in 28 days. *whoa*

So a few weeks ago I started this prompt story thing with my dear friend Vicky; and I've been hooked since. The idea is that I pick a random prompt off a website and write a short 100 odd word story section from it. It's been great fun, and once I've finished using all the prompts I'm tempted to take the small ramblings and make it a fully fledged story.

And at the end of the month, of course, it's come down to me sitting here, at my computer, reviewing my life. Damn that's a dangerous thing to be doing. Well, life is good at any rate :)

Bring on May, and study leave!

Hey Everyone

So, I've decided to join a growing trend of people creating blogs. Hi guys *waves*

To find out more about me as a person, please look at my personal profile. As it is, I've created this blog for a couple of reasons

1) To rant- I do a lot of this; I admit to it now. Even the smallest of things could set me off, so be warned.

2) So I've got somewhere to write my musings of the world. I used to use Myspace and VF, but I didn't stick around. Maybe this will be more successful

3) To talk about my greatest hobby: writing. If I'm not ranting I'm writing. I'll probably update this blog with news of ideas I've had, of characters, of snippets and of publishing news. As I start taking this hobby in a serious direction, I'll need somewhere where I can rant, rave, scream and celebrate without the worry of flooding one particular forum.

And finally:

4) 'To meet new people' - I.e. where I can hopefully find like minded people who I have yet to meet, and where also I can keep out of the hair of people who dislike me for whatever reason. After all; if you didn't like me, why would you read my blog?


So hey to anyone who's reading; I hope this blog blooms with success :)
