21st August 2014 - Update

Oh, hey! It's the blogging guy, who said he'd write every day FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE! How's it been going, writer-man? Managed to keep it up?

Of course I haven't. Firstly, writing was put to one-side for the time I was in Edinburgh; initially, I was planning to attempt to keep up the habit of writing daily while up there, but I very quickly realised that it would take an hour out of each day, so would it inhibit on my enjoyment of my time up there. Moreover, this would make the blogs either half-arsed, or I would be annoyed at myself for writing them, a feeling which would seep into the writing itself.

I came home from Edinburgh on the Sunday just gone, with my plan being that I would write-up a blog detailing my Edinburgh experience (highlights, lowlights, and most importantly: best food). Said blog was due to be written when I was less tired (who'd have thought that 9 days of late-nights, walking 10+ miles every day, and a 6 hour journey home would leave you feeling knackered?); basically, that was Sunday out of the question for my day to write a long blog.

Then we come to Monday. On Monday afternoon, I received a phone call asking if I was free to come to job interview the next day. The interview was just for a part-time job in a supermarket, so don't get too excited (though it would be a big deal for me to get it, quite frankly). I felt it went really well, which is something I haven't felt after an interview previously. They said they'd get back to me "within 2 days". I took this to mean Thursday, but they could also mean Friday. Despite the fact I felt it went well, I'm still feeling quite worried and nervous today. It wouldn't be my dream job, sure, but it would be a job that is perfect to do alongside my writing ambitions.

Basically, I've not been in a "oh, let's write" mood recently, because there have been more important things to focus on over the last couple of weeks. I'll get back to it soon.

Tom.
