A quick update

Yes, yes, I know I've been posting a lot recently but, if you've read each post, you'll see that I've been sat on this laptop thingy with a broken keyboard (damn you epilepsy!), whacking out articles for Devil's Deeds and London Impact. Along with this I've spent many hours on Gumtree looking for paid work. Sadly I was unsuccessful.

Until today, that is. During my daily browse I came across a website which is looking for writers which they'll be paying (amount I am currently unsure of but money's money, right?).

In other news: Semester B starts in a week which means that this blog will be updated with actual writing rather than updates weekly. However, it also means I won't get the lie-ins I've been taking advantage of these past weeks although, excluding Wednesday, all lectures begin at 1 which means an extra 2 hours sleep and an alarm set a bit later. Bliss or a bad idea? You decide.

That's it for now but knowing me, I'll probably knock out an article or update by tomorrow. We'll have to see.

A few updates

So, since my last post mentioning my first publication, I've managed to get a couple other pieces published which I'll link below. I also managed to hook myself a little job rewriting news articles. However, this site appears to have lost some interest in me suddenly so I don't know where this will be leading to or if I'm still on their writers list. Ho hum.

http://www.devilsdeeds.com/booksreviewcomment.html - This link has two of my current pieces on it: review of a book on Kraftwerk and the most recent one on how books are an endless source of inspiration.

I've also written another piece on Islington which is due to be put onto London Impact when it launches at the beginning of next month so I'll post a link up to that when it happens.

Following on from that, semester B starts on the 7th which means a return of the weekly postings of assignments.

Fun times ahead.

Good news re. previous post

As you may have read in my previous post (if you did read it,that is), I'd written a review for my current living area of Beckton/UEL. This article was sent off and, after waiting a few days I got a nice reply of:

"Thank you for submitting to London Impact. We have looked at your work and we will be using it in our debut online publication".

So it looks like my journey as an article writer is beginning.

I have also applied and will be appearing in another article site due to appear on Friday. I'll keep the name secret until my article appears. Saying that, it won't be mentioned on this blog so you'll just have to find it yourself. Think of it as a treasure hunt, if you'd consider a book review to be treasurable.

If I write an article to appear on one of the sites it won't be appearing on here and vice versa. Best to keep things fresh and different, wouldn't you say? Rather than clicking on a link just to find yourself reading the same thing which you read two minutes ago.

Keep an eye out for the next posts :)
