An (Un)Spectacular Come-back!

So...hi there. Fancy seeing you here. On the internet. It's been a while. How've you been? Good? Oh, great. Me? I'm okay. Emerging from the depths of job-seeker's despair and boredom is a little harder than I expected. Yeah, yeah. No, you're right, I am talking to myself.

"Hey....where'd everybody go?"

Oh wait! No I'm not, I'm talking to you! My lovely bloggering friends! I think. I mean, if nobody reads this now I am going to feel so stupid. Or insane, although as most of you know I'm not really on the good side of sane most of the time anyway.

I feel like there should be more a point to this blog.

So, NaNoWriMo. I did it! I actually for once in my life completed NaNoWriMo. 50,000 words and everything. I haven't exactly finished the novel yet although after a few months of just leaving it to stew I'm actually getting on with it and am writing the final scene. The final scene which is supposed to be really dramatic but may just end up being full of exclamation marks ("you! it was you! I am surprised and shocked and all the other feelings"!) However, once I have finally finished writing it I will be able to come back and edit it which will actually be quite nice and I've read a bit of it already and it's not actually as awful as I thought it was.

Lady Phoebe was shocked and horrified at the revelation that pink was perhaps not her colour.

So I'm mostly applying for jobs at the moment but I am also doing other projects such as painting. I painted Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch Sherlock, naturally) recently and I'm actually rather proud of it and may try my hand at Watson and Moriarty some time soon. I have also begun swimming, today with my lovely friend Ni being the first of such escapades, as I'm pretty sure I've decided running isn't for me...at least not until I'm a little bit more fit than the hugely unfit state I am in at the moment.

I'm also taking my driving theory test tomorrow which by rights I should be revising for right now but I procrastinate pretty much everything apparently.

Apart from that though my activities are a little thin on the ground. I think I may need a writing project but then  perhaps I should be continuing on with the novel and actually finish it.

Okay, thinking about it (see, this is how you can tell I haven't planned what to write in my blog- stream of conciousness people! I am so sorry.) perhaps I should do what I intended to do with this blog and find small writing exercises to do to get myself in the writing frame of mind to write my novel. Next blog post, which may well be some time this week, I will write about a writing exercise I have tried out and maybe put up some samples of my writing (again, I am so so sorry.)

So, be excited!

Actually, don't, this could really not work at all.
