The whole point of it really is to keep track of everything I get up to during my year in the US, but it seems a bit too much like plunging in at the deep end if I don't start writing until I arrive in August. Not that I can really write much about my life at the moment; sitting watching some weird and slightly boring Michael Douglas film in my joggers hardly makes for a fascinating read. I'm just hoping that writing something, anything, will help reignite the spark of creativity within me that was so thoroughly doused by seven years of secondary school. Technically, as an English student I should probably be perfectly happy to reel off some inspiring piece on just about anything, something I think this post has proven fairly untrue. But I'll keep trying until inspiration sneaks its way in and finally makes me write something half decent.
For now, I'll just settle for not being given a Mcjob, and watching Vicar of Dibley repeats while the dog avoids me.
Sometimes I think my life is just too exciting.
Those 7 years really were quite stifling for anyone with even remote creative leanings. Personally think you've turned boredom into something mildly amusing here. Just write about what interests you and you'll be fine. Even if it's not the best piece, it's just one post, you know? Anyway, this is me talking as someone who has blogged for a while, but isn't really a writer of any kind (I ramble on about crap normally) so you will be more than okay. Also, have fun in America! Sounds like an amazing opportunity.
ReplyDeleteErrr well I just read quite a few of your posts and I have to say I found them pretty interesting! (Which is an achievement in itself considering everything I know about sewing comes from Textiles lessons!) I'll keep trying with the writing shizzle though, hopefully my life will take a slightly more bloggable path next year!
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent blog and I do look forward to reading about your adventures in the USA. I will miss you though but at least I have the comfort of your blogs! :)
