Writing Stuff

Before I went on holiday to Portugal, I set myself a massive task of completing fourteen articles in the space of two days. These were for HerUni, Pillow Magazine, Freedom Spark & The 405.

I felt like a proper freelancer under pressure the days before my holiday, and I'm glad I did it so that I enjoyed my holiday that much more! I love writing as you all know, and that experience that I set myself made me realise that writing will be my career, and if it's not, I have no idea what I will do with my life!

A sneak peek of my HerUni writers page... more of which you can find here.

I wrote six or seven articles days before I went to Portugal for HerUni. I need to think of more ideas for more articles!

For Freedom Spark, the gig came around because I know the lovely editor Katie through working in the University café last year. I follow her on Twitter and saw that she wanted some new writers to review films for her site. I reviewed Snow White & The Huntsman as well as the beautifully made Moonrise Kingdom.

And, lastly (for now), The 405. I wrote this article a while back about the Olympics. I had this idea for an article for months, and told my editor the idea when I first started writing for The 405. You can read the full article here.

So, that is it for Writing Stuff for now. I have done quite a lot of writing this month (in a week or so) and should find time to do more in August. I have a lot going on in August which will come in a post tomorrow (hopefully!)

Under The Sea

Today I found one of my articles for The 405 that I wrote last month. It was a Summer trend post about the fashion inspired from under the sea. My favourite colours are green and blue anyway, so there's reason one for me loving the trend, and I love anything to do with summer. The sea reminds me of summer. There's reason two.

My article for The 405:

I wish I was by the sea right now. I will be in less than a week! I'll be in Portugal with my family, and I cannot wait to get away from rainy England! I need to get a lot of stuff done with regards to writing. I've written three more articles for The 405 today, and I'm writing a film review for Freedom Spark. Journalism is on the up for me at the moment, although I am a tad bored especially in this weather!

Also, finally my room is sorted for Spain! I've got quite a spacious one thank God! Also, this week I've read the 50 Shades trilogy. I read the three books in four days. Safe to say, I was addicted.

The sea trend also reminds me of The Little Mermaid and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

The 405 Posts

Just a quick posts to show you what I've been up to lately with regards to online publication. To be honest, it's not a lot due to moving back home, going out with my friends during the last week of term, and packing/unpacking/sorting etc. etc. But, here are two posts for The 405. I may have linked up the first one beforehand.

1. 30 Years of Guess

2. The Diamond Jubilee

There's two articles. I've sent through another, shorter piece that will hopefully be up on the site soon once I've had the go ahead from the lovely fashion editor Eleanor!
