Holy smokes. I've been informed (against my will, I might add) that I've had this blog for ten years now. It's amazing to think back to where I was when I began. 2014 December 2014, Winchester, England. I was studying Creative Writing, hoping to someday work in publishing because that was the only thing I … Continue reading 10 Years of Precarious Writer: A Retrospective.

The Nosebleed
In case you don't know, I regularly avoid posting about things as they happen unless they're time sensitive. This story happened eight years ago, in the end-days of my time in university. It was a decently interesting thing and well worth writing about, but at the time I didn't tell anyone about it, not even … Continue reading The Nosebleed
Violet the Short Film
I sit near the front of the theatre, watching as the credits of the fourth film of the night finish and the screen fades to black. With every film we've seen, my nerves have increased. I've felt my anxiety about this night, Showcase night, building for weeks now. My short film, Violet, was created as … Continue reading Violet the Short Film
Future Plans 2017
When I was still at my job, I felt burned out at the end of every day. In the beginning I used to write when I could, but it turned into more work on top of already exhausting work. For the majority of my time I wasn't doing any writing outside of this blog … Continue reading Future Plans 2017
What Happens When You Leave School
I've left two schools in the past six months. One was a typical, happy, graduation kind of leave. The other was a non-typical, special-circumstances kind of leave. There are some things that only happen with the first kind and some things that only happen with the second, and there are a few that happen with both. … Continue reading What Happens When You Leave School
I Quit School.
I quit school. If you're wondering what that last post was about, it's that. I was finding myself increasingly unhappy in school to the point where it was affecting my grades and I was late every morning because I hated coming in. I was hyper-aware that when I graduated I would be soaked and dripping in … Continue reading I Quit School.
School and Sleep
Okay, okay. I've got some explaining to do. It's actually really simple. I couldn't upload my pictures for some reason or another. And how can I write a post about my new shelves without even showing you my new shelves? Anyhow, I figured I had to write something while I figured out my picture problem. So … Continue reading School and Sleep
I’m back!
Oops. Ten days since my last post. My apologies. I kept meaning to post, but I've been busy. Many things have changed. My chair has arrived and as promised, I'll show you both that and my bookshelf...tomorrow. Today, I'll only update you on what's been going on. The biggest thing to happen in the past … Continue reading I’m back!
My First Rant (About Everything)
My computer is getting slower by the day and it is driving my crazy. Also driving me crazy? My room. I don't have a chair for my desk so I have to bend over to use my laptop which is uncomfortable and probably bad for me. I have stuff all over the floor in an … Continue reading My First Rant (About Everything)
