Even though I love writing and I have the time to do a full update, to be honest I can't really be bothered! I'm really tired after getting up yesterday at 5am to do a car boot sale until 1pm and then I came home and did some homework for college.
For creative writing the homework was really loose in that we could either do a poem, haiku, short story and we also needed to do something on the theme of Christmas, as Joy (tutor) mentioned last year the class had all their entries bound into a book and a copy was given to everyone. I really wanted to do a poem - as that's my thing and what I've had published - but even though I sat for ages with loads of notes and my rhyming dictionary, I couldn't come up with anything at all! So I decided to do a description piece, but again I couldn't come up with anything.
After playing a game on sky - Beehive Bedlam - I went and sat at the computer and was determined not to move until I'd at least come up with a draft of something and I ended up writing a short story from Santa Claus' point of view which I'm really proud of and think is one of the best things I've written for a while!
That's the weird thing about when I want / need to write something, as when I try sometimes I can't come up with anything and when I'm not even thinking about anything I end up writing something I'm really proud of.
Though at the beginning I said I wasn't really in the mood to write, I'm going to go and write in my handwritten diary now - I've only got a few more pages until I can choose another notebook from my vast colourful collection. I can't walk past a stationary shop without having a look at their notebooks, but I've told myself I can't buy anymore until I've filled in about 7 of them - as I'm running out of room to store them!
