About Me

I am a student of Creative Writing and I've been told I'm too 'out there' for my own good. I don't mind - my moto is: Carpe Diem

Focus and concentrate

It's been a while..the mayhem of being a student just weeks away from graduating has taken hold. Have no fear though - all is well.

As of today, I have 35 days until my first assignment is in, 42 days until the next 2 assignments are in and 49 days until all work is handed in and I start the long wait for my results and my graduation. EEK.

As a writer, I get constantly flooded with ideas and while I have 5 separate uni assignments to focus on, my mind is bombarded with all these other ideas that have no relevance - the feeling if dread comes over me that I will get waylaid and forget the purpose of my projects in favour of my random ideas. I have started carrying a legal pad on a clipboard with me to make notes of things that pop into my head and (for the OCD part of me) to make lists of what I need to do each day to keep me on track.

Though I am presently ill, my first item for the coming week is to make an audio recording for one of my projects which will be a comment on industrialisation and change. The idea comes from John Cage '4:33' where the audience became the performance. Unfortunately until it is completed, handed in and marked I cannot post it up here but it will be added once all that has been done.

Wish me luck
