I Think My Novel Has A Napoleon Complex

Good news! I finally finished the first draft of the novel that I wrote for NaNoWriMo!
*Party blower solo*

Bad news? It's actually more like a novella than a novel. Now I've edited it, it doesn't even have 50,000 words any more...

I was spurred into finishing it by the promise of free copies from Create Space which I'm not going to go for now as it would involve actually publishing it through Create Space so I just bought a couple of proof copies and said to hell with it. I'm hopeful that once I've had a look through it properly I'll be able to extend the story somewhat so it's an actual novel. Or I could just bang my forehead on the keyboard a couple of times and call it a day. That's a valid idea, right?

The Blog With No Name

Or no purpose at least.

I really have no idea what to write. It's the same reason I can't keep penpals because I am SO FRICKING BORING that nothing happens to me and I have nothing to talk about! Let's see what I've done this week.

Monday: 


Actually strike that, I'm bored just thinking about it, and it's only Wednesday anyway. So what's happening with me instead.

Well my little brother finally convinced me to get a new phone. I'm fine with the one I have, it works like I want it to and does pretty much everything I want but he convinced me with the price, £16 a month. That is until he said I needed insurance. At an extra £11.99 a month.

£12 a month for insurance?! I didn't spend that on insurance for my holiday this year (which we will come to in a second)!!

So he says, it's OK, he can get a discount because he works there, but they don't have the phone in so I'll have to get it online. We go ahead but then he's not sure if he can get his discount online. Basically I don't know if I'm getting this phone or not after all this hassle.


So holidays, yeah I'm going away in two weeks!! YAY!!!! Brothers will be house sitting (because they have no money to go away themselves, ha!) and me and mum and dad will be spending two weeks in sunny Portugal! I just can't wait!

Huh, seems I did have something to talk about after all, go figure. Anyway, I've got work in the morning so I'll leave you there.

Later!

Happy Birthday To Me?

So, today I'm officially a quarter of a century old! 25 years, wow. Yay me? Let's see where I've got to at this important milestone of my life.

Well, I'm still living in my parents home... but that's fine, not many people can afford to move out of their parent's houses like they used to.

I work at Asda... but as I said above, the economy's crap at the moment and I did have an interview last week.

I've written a book!... but it's not actually totally finished yet and if I don't get off my butt and actually start to finish it then it'll just sit on my laptop forever.

I know it's not as bad as some people, there are definitely those worse off than me, but sometimes I just wish I would get off my fat arse and actually do something with my life.

Also, I CAN'T SEEM TO TYPE PROPERLY TONIGHT!!!!111!!!! FARKING SPELLING!!! snajkrk,mewjnrfas,jrkhekwu

Back To The Drawing Board

Sigh...

So I said in my last blog post that I might have a new job soon? Turns out it's not to be. I received a standard rejection email today saying that "after careful consideration" they will not be hiring me after all. Damn...
