New Blog, New Start
Name: Laura.
Age: Just turned the merry age of 18 when writing this.
Wants to be: A journalist/author and working hard at both!
If someone asked me right now if I had one wish what would I wish for. I would answer them that I would wish for everyone in the whole world, no matter who they are or what they have done, just to stop and take in what a wonderful place we live in, and to be thankful that they’re alive. Now it might be very naive for me to say this since some people live in hell holes and suffer from abuse etc but if they just stopped and looked out the window at the nights sky and saw the vast amount of stars, and realised how small we really are, I think we, as a people, would become better inside. I think some people lose themselves in the needless stress of everyday life, this being ‘everyday life’ having been created by someone else, and need to find themselves again. I wish I could help and the only way I know how is to write, so that is what I am going to do with my life.
Now I know one person cannot change the whole world (unless you happen to be the president of America or someone with a lot of money), though I am never going to stop trying. I’ll try and change as many people’s lives for good, as I can throughout my life because I want to make a difference. I don’t want to be a celebrity, or someone who has vast amounts of money and not enough hours in the day to spend it. I want a quaint little life, with a loving partner (which at this moment in time I do have) and the ability to write whatever I want, whenever I want.
I write short stories whenever the mood takes me, and I am currently working on a longer story (some might say it can be called a novel but I don’t want to jinx it just yet.) I also am getting into the habit of reviewing films I have seen, though falling out of this habit is pretty easy if I tell you the truth. Since I want to be a journalist (working for Q or Empire) I guess I need to get my ass in gear and start writing properly, but as of late I have fallen off the band wagon, struggling to get back on. I have high hopes that by creating a Tumblr account I will begin to write them again, though this remains to be seen.
Next week (leaving tomorrow) I am going to London for work experience with Empire magazine. I am thrilled and a little nervous so I guess I will be blogging what I am doing up there, my first time in the big city and all on my own. Now thinking about it, I’m pretty certain something is going to go wrong. Oh dear. Anyways I must end this post now as I have a fear of it dragging on for far too long.
Thanks for reading!
