Life has once again gotten in the way of my art. Typical. Unfortunately, until I can make money out of my creative spark I'm attempting to nurture, this may happen quite a lot.

Life has been flipped upside down recently, and therefore I haven't even touched my camera, let alone written anything or even thought of anything to start on. I missed the deadlines for a few photography competitions I would have liked to enter, and I missed out on doing NaNoWriMo as well, which is disappointing.

As always, I plan to change that. I am putting into action a daily schedule of all the things that MUST be completed before going to bed each night, and I plan to give myself some creative time in there. If it happens randomly, great! but I need to give myself a set time to work things out, create goals, and work towards them.

I've learned a lot in the last few months. With my mother-in-law passing away, my father, sister and nephew leaving town, moving house, and job hunting (unsuccessfully so far) I'm beginning to realize that I have wasted so much of my life doing.. well... nothing. I plan to change that and get things into order. I realize that nothing is going to change over night, but nothing will ever change if I stay in this day in/day out repetitiveness that I'm living at this point in time.

Wish me luck.
