Catching up.

I'm not entirely sure where the last two weeks have gone. It's been just over a fortnight since my last post and to be honest I haven't been that productive. I've applied for some jobs I am interested in and received a handful of replies saying they don't want me in return.

One project that I've put some energy into that is paying back is the online magazine. A couple of weeks ago I suggested to some of my friends that we begin one and the response seems to have been good. I've slacked with the progression of it the last few days because I feel like I've been at work non-stop but I think it has got direction now and is going the right way.

We've decided that our magazine will be 'Red Leaf Literary Magazine'. I think the target is new and adventurous authors that want to grab a foothold in the world of published literature, hopefully we can provide that foothold. I'll talk more about the magazine once everything is about to go live.

I've been reviewing my dissertation (I got my marks back from that by the way and it was all hunky dory), a mark of 65, my highest mark this year, so can't complain. I've been deciding where to take it. I would have liked to finish it before christmas but I don't want to sacrifice the quality of the plot (it is after all a genre fiction, and thus plot-driven).

I'll try and update again later this week. My friend Aisya from Malaysia is visiting this weekend however, so it's doubtful it will be over the weekend. Monday, perhaps.
