I’ve been writing a lot lately. Started off with a bunch of fanfics, and have since moved on to writing more of my own stuff again. I’ve had a lot of free time… I’ve got a sort of half term at the moment, and my last ordinary work day in the kindergarten was last Friday. They didn’t give me any shifts this week, as they didn’t need that many people, but I’m hopeful that they’ll ring me on Monday and that I’ll get some work next week. If not, I’ll just keep writing, I guess.

I’ve been doing some stargazing, too. Or, not so much stargazing as planetwatching, as there’s way too much light polution in the city. I picked up my binoculars at my mum’s last week. Had a look at Jupiter, which was looking quite brilliant. I want to get out of the city, to somewhere really dark on a cloudless night so I can have a good look at the sky.

I also really want a telescope. My binoculars are fairly decent, but it’s hard to hold them still and I’d like something that can get even closer. I’d like a really good telelens for my camera, too, so I can take good pictures. Something like this one would be awesome. My 200mm takes fairly good pictures of the moon, though.

This was just the other night. The moon was hanging so low in the sky, it was as big as an egg, almost. Well, not quite, but it was really big, and yellow as a cheese.

Anyway, like I said, I’ve been writing. I sort of stopped writing Sunrise when my beta reader stopped answering my e-mails. Now Perfect Imagination has closed down, too, so I haven’t really tried finding another one. Still, I’ve decided to make another stab at writing Sunrise, without a beta. I’ve rewritten the first chapter, and posted another one, so I hope you’ll read it and leave some comments, I’d love to know what you think!

Everything’s located in the original post, in the Fiction section. I intend to continue, this time, and not just give up and stop writing. I really feel like this story has potential, it could be really good, so I’m gonna give it my best, and I hope you all like it too!
