I may be the last person you would expect to do this but I have the skills (sort of) required to do this. I have decided to write my own book. And to keep it easier a children's book. The idea came to me while I was sat on the DLR. A women with striking features was sat in front of me and I came up with an idea and that idea was my title. DONE!
I then began to develop the character in front of me, analysing her details and features and thinking about what her personality could be. I have only just started to write notes on the storyline. I haven't decided on if it will rhythm or be long or short. All I know right now is it will be entertaining and I will do my own illustrations. In either watercolour OR sketchy looking illustrations.
Once I have a first draft I will send it to family members and friends to help me and give me their opinions and tips on grammar and spelling (because I am not what they call proper when it comes to writing.) LOL Then after I am satisfied with the copy and illustrations i will genuinely consider handing it to a publication.
Challenge excepted!!!!!!!!
Now the subject itself is something I am going to keep to my self for now. Its a peice of art in progress so I need to be the only one thinking of it. But when I get more in to it I will indeed blog it. As a promotion ofcourse.
Along with my nice new job I bought a nice big SLR camera to celebrate. Although I had saved up my Christmas and birthday money, I needed about £17 to top up my fund to purchase the camera, and when I got a job I could do it. I bought a Canon 600d and it...is...SEXY!!
My first week of work I was knackered every time I entered the door so I could't gather the energy to play with my camera. But last weekend I did. It was snowy and rainy so I was limited to inside photography...and in particular my cat. I must say I took some pretty cute and awesome photos(which will be posted on my Pinterest/Tumblr). Although I think any idiot can take a photo. BUT it takes an artist to take a original and fresh photo. I absolutely love my camera though. I also ordered a case for it to protect it because atm it's still in the box it came from all the way from Hong Kong. I am going to use it to develop my photography skills, improve directing skills (because it has HD video) and do something as a hobbie...maybe even start a little photographer company if I'm any good in a year or so. Yes this whole blog is about how much I love my camera and how amazing it is. HA I know, I know....crazy women. Keep Buzzing!!
It's here, it's finally here. My last day before I start a full time job for the first time EVER! Now of course I have worked before, I did a paper round when I was at high school and I did part time cleaning work while I was studying at University and of course I have done freelance work and placements as a creative team after moving down to London. But this is the big one. The one where I can make my mark, earn some hard earned cash and...make some nice new friends. YAY!! just YAY!!!!!
My day plan is simple, it involves organising myself for tomorrow (read over contract/prepare tomorrows outfits, plan getting ready and travel plan) and tiring myself out so the excitement doesn't over power me when all I want to do is get a good nights rest.
I am so excited about my first day, I wonder what I will be doing. I might have my own desk, a phone and definitely a swirlverly chair. Along with a nice email address with my name in it YEH BOI! and of course I will get to stroll through Mayfair every day checking out the 5 story Victorian town houses and posh cars that zoom by with potential celebs inside. Ohh I wonder where my job will take me in regards to celebrity spotting and sexy cars (which I may take photos of and make another blog called "What I saw on my way to work" blog - catchy aye??)
It's a very exciting day and I will celebrate this day with a nice meal in and an awesome film to watch....umm maybe even Braveheart. K! They may take our lives, but they will never take our.....well you know the rest.
This week has been one awesome week. I got offered a job on Monday. Simon got an interview. Simon went to the interview on Wednesday. Got offered the job on the same day. Took the offer. I accepted my offer on Thursday. Went shopping the same day for nice new clothes (first time in a long long time) Had a meal out (to nandos) Nice meal at night in the same day. Got offered another job offer on the Friday. Signed a contract to my first job offer (obv decided which job). So all in all a most fabulous week! Full of financial reassurance, job offers and shopping. A massive weight has been lifted off my shoulders. The world seems a happier place.YAY
Stretching and yawning I sat up in my bed one morning. I woke up and peered out the window to find outside my flat a blizzard had gathered. Snow was flying in every direction. Hitting my window with gale force winds and constant snow fall. People were struggling to walk and were wrapped up warm in big coats and thick jumpers. These thick snow flakes fell for the entire day.
I gradually rolled out of bed and woke up the following day and to my surprise the sun was shining. The sky was a crisp blue with a few clouds scattered in the sky. A light wind brushed past the shrubbery and the sun rays flowed into my living room, lifting my spirits for the day. It's insane to see the weather change from one extreme to the other.
Our planet is obviously in some serious shit!
Have you ever come across a situation where things are just weird, and a part of you starts to wonder 'Am I dreaming?' 'Am I in a parallel universe?' 'Is this really happen?' 'What if...blah blah blah' I do!
I get it a lot. But I think that comes down to my insane imagination. If someone is late or hasn't emailed or rang me back which is out of the ordinary. I begin to think of insane reasons like: they have died, am I dreaming, have they been kidnapped, what if they did arrive but I'm stuck in a different dimension or even as far as 'Am I on the Truman show?' (I have strong views on this subject and will dive into it more another time) but, I know right, call the paramedics, lock this mad women up and throw away the key...
I know, I know...weird right! But isn't that normal (when you have an extreme imagination). That you think differently and out of the box type of thing! Hope so.
What made me think of this was, I am waiting for an answer to whether I have got a job and I haven't heard anything in over a week now. I mean this is probably bad news for my career but still it's polite to let someone know either way. I don't think it's them being rude. I think it's something mad like they died. Or the building caught on fire and everyone was burnt hahah I don't know if that's my way of saying that I believe in humanity and kindness for the human race or that I'm just plain mental.
I will let you decide.
Random subject to talk about today is: POTATOES! A potato is a starchy tuberous crop. You can make a range of things like jacket potatoes, chips, wedges, mash, roasties, rosti and things with those things in like potato bake (according to Simon :S OK MATE) OK I'm bored of talking about Potatoes. I think I will talk about unemployment. Well it sucks. BIG TIME! People moan about working but when your not working it's even worse. You just waste your days applying for jobs and doing nothing. It's total balls. I hate it. I don't understand people who live off benefits and do nothing. Why would you want to waste your life away. It's so pointless. Wouldn't you rather have a job so you can buy things and make something with your life. I so desperately want a job so that I can go on holiday, go on adventures, buy things for myself and learn new things like: piano, adobe suites packages and instruments etc. I just want a bloody job!!! PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE ME A JOB!!!!!! Thank you and goodbye.
