Long time no submitting, I continue to be sporadically creative in different fields. I'm starting on one of the country's top creative writing courses in October- a year long Masters (MPhil, because it's research based). Off to the big city lights (Birmingham) with very little money in my pocket (hopefully get a job to pay me through the year, I've applied to libraries and the BBC). Lots of cool gigs I'm excited about, and plus my course, I'm getting all the books come through from Amazon at the moment... they smell nice

It's been a hard year or so, I graduated first in my Class and with the 2007 subject Prize at my undergrad degree but I also struggled for that against a horrible and desructive relationship which amounted to it ending on my Graduation Ball. Fortunately I had the Harry Potter release the next day to bury my head in but after all the bereavement in that I certainly felt shell shocked for a coupla weeks. and then my funding for the Masters fell through and I'd had to start sorting out all kindsa scary loans... I'm finally starting to sort my shit out though, my head's making a bit more sense, my self esteem is struggling up from rock bottom and I'm going to fight my way out.

so I'm going to throw up the odd sketch, painting or interesting photo that I've committed to bytes recently, not much on writing though because to follow my progress in writing (I am now thrice published... or will be soon anyhew) tis best to check out my blog [link] you'll find the odd bit of art there too- it's kind of a creative cyber splurge.

I hope all who are reading this are well.
