#scoot talks

well, i only got 693 words for the first day. i started late and have to get up early so bed time for me :( plus had a mishap with a giant spider ambush!! but i’m feeling it, i’ve finally been bitten by the writing bug again and i’m hoping it lasts!

hey what’s up hello, i’m scoot. 19, from Australia, pronouns are she/her. i’ve been on tumblr for years but only recently started my writing blog and had no idea about writeblr until this year! 

i’ve only just graduated high school and until i figure out what i’m interested in studying, i’m just working, travelling, and writing! i’ve been writing ever since i could hold a pencil, and have amassed a collection of ideas and characters, which i’m always happy to talk about! 

i have 7 current wips (yikes, i know!). i mainly write YA fantasy/adventure. i’d really love to make some writer friends, so feel free to reblog this/shoot me a message or anything! 

but i’m going back to school!!! i’m really really excited about it, it’s one of those things where every time i think about what i’ll be doing, the type of coursework i’ll be taking, and the kind of job that i’ll have afterwards i get filled with warm fuzzies and excitement, so i’m pretty sure this is the right move.

it’s just too early to officially announce - i only applied to the college last night, and should know in a few days if i’m accepted or not - which is why it’s kind of vague. but if i get in, i’ll be taking the last gen eds starting in the spring, applications to the program i’m interested in open in january, and i’ll know by april if i’m accepted. then classes will start in the fall and after 2 more years of school i’ll be in a new career, which will bring me closer to working with animals!!!

in case anyone who knows me irl (or mutuals, or whoever cares honestly!!) hasn’t already heard, i put my 2 weeks in at my current job, and in less than 2 weeks at this point i’m moving to virginia!

wow, November went by quickly, huh? i didn’t make the word count, in the end. i started off strong, but i work a lot, and i never had time, and i lost motivation and blah blah blah. i could make a million excuses. but i learnt a lot from this year, and i hope i can take those lessons on and participate again next year. i’m happy too, because i finally made a start on my book! it’s only a bit, but we all start somewhere.
