The Big Body Edit.

Sorry it has been a couple days since my last post. I have created a new side blog called The Big Body Edit. Its purpose is to chart my progress on my own 'Fit for 30' campaign. Many thanks to David at Oppose/Edit for giving me the idea. I intend to well and truly entangle my creative endeavours with my health and fitness activities, as I feel that a healthy body leads to a healthy more creative mind. I hope that if you choose to check it out that you find it interesting.

A fortuitous month

It has been a while since my last post. Its been a busy and successful month, with me seeming to have attained semi-permanent employment, and making some productive head way financially. Without wanting to jinx my seeming good luck, my life seems to be falling into some kind of pattern.

Jobs and money aside, the best thing that has come out of this month is the beginning of a routine. A routine that affords me at least three days a week to work on my own creative projects. Something that I haven't had since university. I am attempting to draw up a realistic yet rigorous schedule that will make the most of my new found time. Something that draws all of the activities that I want to pursue into the standard week.

On the creative side, I have a new book review up at The Ultimate Book Guide for Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London; and I am looking into a small writing submission to get myself restarted properly. I still have some more illustrations to complete, alongside a week or so of research.

I have also begone to think about which field I want to research next. I'm leaning towards mathematics, alongside the ecocritical backlog I have to sort through. This seems to be letting the first few thoughts begin to drift towards the option of my Phd research possibilities. An exciting and daunting possibility.

I am planning on fitting more regular posting into my weekly routine, so with luck, and if I don't get distracted by the many differing projects, there will be more interesting things to read on here.
