Good & bad.

So, yesterday was a great day! After waiting to be one of the last people in my creative writing class to have to read some their work out, it was my turn. I was literally terrified. Like, sweating, tensed up, super nervous terrified. Also, as I forgotten to find a printer to make copies of my work, me and Tom had to sit at the kitchen table (we finally bought a table after six months, wooooo!) and make hand written copies for my whole class. So that was interesting.

Anyway, after I read, my tutor explained that the type of poem id written is something that's usually taught towards the end of the next level up course because it's meant to be super tricky to write. AND he liked my poem so much he asked to keep a copy of it. I AM SO HAPPY. I've struggled so much in the last few years with feeling like I'm not putting my brain to use and that there's not much I can do and be good at anymore and it feels SO good to be told by someone who is experienced at writing that I actually am good at it! Yay me!

However, the bad side of things is that being super tense because of nerves and spending an hour hunched over writing out copies of work is definitely not good for my neck. So now I'm off work, in pain, telling myself off every time I forget to keep my neck straight. But, at least I now have proof my brain still works, even if my body doesn't! Swings and roundabouts I guess!
