So I received my MA results today.
I PASSED WITH A DISTINCTION!
I'm so happy, and one of the most exciting things about getting a distinction is that it gives me that extra chance to receive funding so I can apply for a PhD.
About a month ago I also mentioned I had an internship with a company in Wales. My internship is now over, and I can now reveal that I was interning at an independent video game company where I was helping to write the script for a new science fiction game. It was a lot of fun, and what's even more exciting is that I've been offered a job, starting in January, to work as a paid script writer for the company.
It's so rare to be able to come out of a Creative Writing MA and go into a writing job, so I'm so, so, so pleased and thankful!
So hopefully that clears up why I've been pretty quiet here recently - I've been a little busy!
How are you? Talk to me! Are any of you going to be taking part in NaNoWriMo this year?

oops! i did it again
Once again I disappeared for a few months and I still haven't been as active on here as I might like to be, but I think I find it difficult to be active on here now that I'm not really publishing work here. When I get something finished and edited, as much as I love the writing community here, I'd rather try to get it published in a magazine or anthology and maybe even make a little bit of money off it. That'd be nice.
Anyway how're you all doing? I'm doing okay. I got a new job in a city in England in February and finally moved out of my parents' house in Wales. I still don't know how I feel about it to be honest. I love living independentl

I was inspired by laurotica (https://www.deviantart.com/laurotica)'s recent journal to also redo a little something I don't remember tagging her in a few years ago because, like her, my answers have also definitely changed since I last did this.

I keep meaning to be more active here and I keep failing, only to stop by to check on my notifications and find myself with a Daily Deviation suggested by the lovely ThornyEnglishRose (https://www.deviantart.com/thornyenglishrose) and featured by the lovely BeccaJS (https://www.deviantart.com/beccajs) - thank you very, very much, and thank you to everyone who has a left a kind word or added the poem to their favourites.
When I joined dA eleven years ago (God I'm old) I never thought I'd get a Daily Deviation and now I have two under my belt, both for work written in 2012. Maybe 2012 was a good year. Like a fine wine. Admittedly, I look back at both those pieces now and cringe - they could be so much better if I w

Howdy doody.
How are you all? As usual I've still not managed to sort through the many deviations in my inbox or submit anything myself because I'm a terrible person, but, would you believe it, I am actually working on stuff! I've found myself scribbling a lot in notebooks recently, there are certain themed anthologies and magazine issues that I'd love to submit something for if I can find the time to write something completely new and have it edited to perfection. Or at least edited enough to be considered for publication. I'm at least lucky in that I have two very good friends from my MA course, the three of us have a constant private conv

That is VERY cool. Is your writing sort of like screenplay format then? I kind of imagine your job would be writing the cut-scenes and bits of game-cued dialog -- but are you plotting the adventure as well?
