I got a job interview!

Yesterday I got a phonecall for a job interview to work at WH.Smiths. I've been looking for a job for a long time now so this is very important to me. I'm so excited but extremley nervous! Is there any advice that people could offer to make sure I give them a good impression? Also, I think that working here will be a great opportunity for my writing too. I'll be surrounded by inspiring books all day if I get the job, I'll get to talk to people in the book-selling industry and a job is something that I think will really motivate me in any way. The money will also be a bonus as I'll finally be able to buy notepads, books and other tools on writing. I'm just hoping that if I do get the job it won't affect my writing in a negative way where I find I have no time or energy to write. Of course I'm not going to think about all that just yet, I haven't even had the interview yet let alone got the job! Fingers crossed and wish me luck all the same!

Falling into a 'writers block'

Lately I've felt much less enthusiastic about my novel. It's like I'm so used to my ideas now that I've sort of worn them out. Like when you eat the same food too much it just gets...boring?
I feel less motivated to write and find myself writing lesss and less lately. I'm more focused on reading articles and web pages on writing then I am actually writing. I just can't get excited the way I did when I began. I really am starting to struggle with getting my head round the whole story altogether. Everything feels all wrong. I know I shouldn't feel this way. I mean I've just started this blog about trying to make it as a writer! I can't be falling into the writers block bubble already can I? I should be confident, excited, motivated and eager the way I was when I began but it's all sort of washed out of me. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get back on the horse? As some might say. How to get back into my novel, feel more eager and excited about it and how to make myself more motivated to write?

the novel I'm writing - Rush

So I guess now it is about time I mention the novel I'm writing (or trying to!) It's a YA general fiction novel titled 'Rush' and based around the life of your average teenager (if average is taking drugs, binge drinking and staying out all night). The story is told by the young easily lead Jude Bellamy whose life takes an unexpected path to a world she'd never know if she hadn't met Rizza Rook. Rizza teaches her everything there is to know, shows her everything there is to see and is everything Jude could ever hope to be...or is she? As Jude dwelves deeper into this crazy lifestyle she begins to question whether taking drugs, getting drunk, never sleeping and getting into trouble really is all that worth it? and would being like Rizza really be better than being herself? I'll talk more about my novel in later posts and possibly post rough excerpts of it.  Also a while ago for fun I made some book covers of my novel, and I've decided I'm going to start posting them sometimes under my posts too.

And the Journey begins
