I’ve been missing in action somewhat. There has been rather a lot of life since I last committed blog. In my last post I was packing up the old house in Wrexham psyching myself up for the move and all that would bring.
After that post I went and lived with my parents for a fortnight before joining my partner in south east London. I’m well settled into the new job having survived something that was really intense. Its a busy job which I love but I’ve survived it at its worst I am going to be fine next year.
The downside is that it really did eat my brains for six months. But then I have a bit of a record when it comes to joining intense jobs. Moving away from having a very hands on manager who scheduled my entire week. The management here is very different and its quite freeing even if my confidence took a heck of a beating as the work has been immense.
And now the dust has settled and I have time to reflect. Firstly I did it. No small achievement taking over something mid cycle and despite a few close calls I did not crash the process and indeed as the memories of the stress fades, I can state that yes I love this job.
The next part is proving interesting though. I have plenty still to do but my brain isn’t quite so saturated and I have enough processing power to start thinking about how I can make my life more varied again and get used to writing things again.
I’ve been reviewing books for a while and yes – I must get back into that because I do find it a useful thing to do. Especially since I have a lot more time to devote to writing. The other thing I’m going to start doing is writing about the theatre I see because I get to see a lot of productions these days and I have the urge to document my response to things. I don’t want to review but I do want to talk about what I’ve seen and how they have effected me.
So that is the plan in a nutshell. Write more, read more review more. Talk about everything.
I’m also getting back into running which fell off completely after the move. I hope you’d like to join me on my journey into all sorts of shenanigans.
