Fibre Media is the branch of online blogs, in which contributors can send in articles to their editors, and it will be posted online. At my meeting, I found out they had just started a Creative Writing section, which I am very interested in; as someone whose half their degree is in Creative Writing, of course I am interested.

Unfortunately, they already have a Creative Writing editor, a role in which I had been hoping to take on (not necessarily for CW as I hadn’t known prior to the meeting that there was a CW section) as I hope to go into the publishing industry after I finish my Masters, and I felt being an editor would give me some experience in that department. However, I am also very happy to be a contributor to the section (though I do need to write new content pronto). So I can’t wait to get started with that, as soon as my writer’s block decides it wants to finally leave.

And then on Saturday, I made another trip back to Dundee for the Archery Society’s coached session. At least this time, I didn’t have to take the bus because my sisters were going to Dundee to do some shopping, so I got a lift there and back.

Can I just say, archery is so so so cool, and I recommend it to anyone who has a little nerdy/geeky heart like mine (Legolas, anyone? Hawkeye? Katniss Everdeen?). I had gone to a few archery sessions before a couple of years ago, but I had to stop because of other commitments in my undergrad life. However, this year, I feel I can go consistently because I will probably be largely going to their Saturday sessions rather than their Thursday sessions - it being on a weekend helps a lot, especially since I’m expecting to be fairly busy on weekdays during deadline season.

Also, it turns out I am actually kind of decent at archery? Like, when did that happen?? I definitely don’t remember being that good when I went a couple of years ago. But it’s still awesome, and cool, and I highly recommend (watch yourself though, I have a bruise on the inside of my elbow where I accidentally hit myself with the string).

I may or may not also join the Medieval Re-enactment Society, which is also on Saturdays. Since I’ll be coming up for Archery, why not? It also sounds very fun, and hey, who doesn’t want to learn sword fighting?

I have also been reading ‘A Clash Of Kings’ by George R.R. Martin in my spare time. I have almost finished it, and will be moving onto the next book in the series (probably tomorrow, I only have about 100 pages left). I also just finished the first season of the 2019 Fruits Basket, and omg the feels!! If anime/maga is your thing and you haven’t seen/read it yet, go and watch/read Fruits Basket! And even if it’s not your thing, watch it anyway. It’s a rollercoaster of a ride, I can promise you that, and season two is meant to start in 2020, though we don’t have an exact date yet. But I am very excited to see the manga completely animated this time around (I liked the original, but it didn’t have a second season, and it changed some things from the manga).
