You might think that landing a decent paying, nine to five job right after graduation is good luck, right? Call me ungrateful but I found it boring. Not only did I want more but I needed it.

Heritage and Conservation in Historic Houses
When I was sixteen years old, I changed my mind about my chosen career path. For the last fourteen years (yes, fourteen) I had desperately wanted to become a midwife, but over time this dream had faded and became something I was expected to do, not what I wanted to do.

The Lady With The Ice Cream
It was about 3 months after I started working at the most popular ice cream parlour in the village, it was a hot bank holiday and I was tired, hungry and ready to go home. It was only 2:30pm and I'd was working an 11am-5pm shift.

Racism in the Work Place
It all started last summer when I was finding work opportunities that applied to what I wanted to gain for experience occupationally. After utilizing handshake, I found a summer camp work opportunity I thought I would get a great experience from. It was a overnight 8 week long camp in Northern Wisconsin. The camp was fairly expensive. I mean parents would pay about 5000.00 a session to bring their kid to camp for 4 weeks. Never would have imagined going to work at a summer camp in Northern Wisconsin. After interviewing with the summer camp staff, I instantly thought, wow this will be an awesome experience for me! After realizing I had the job, I was so anxious about all the campers I could impact and the new people I could meet. 24 hours after hearing I got the summer job, I packed my bags and moved to Wisconsin for the summer to be a counselor for awesome campers.

Gattaca, Gattaca!
A while ago, my erstwhile friend and advisor, Laura, was grilling me about my influences. I mentioned Andrew Niccol, a Kiwi genius responsible for, among other things, the mind-bending The Truman Show.

When You Get Lost in Data: 7 Smart Tools to Help You Be More Organized
In this day and age, being organized is just as crucial as being creative or hardworking. This doesn’t just include having a clean and streamlined workspace – because there is no such thing as creative chaos – it’s also about knowing which tasks you have lined up and which ones you should tackle next. Good organization is especially vital if you are an entrepreneur or freelancer, if you need to juggle two or more jobs, and last but not least, if you need to make sense of the vast collection of data at your disposal.

I recently went to a Guardian Masterclass here in London given by Rod Judkins, a lecturer at St Martins School of Art who has written several books on the creative process including The art of Creative thinking and Change your mind (great books by the way).

How to Write When You Can't
How To Write When You Can't OMG I woke up at 2 AM. It's now 4:16 and maybe I should give up on sleep and get up. I will get an opportunity to have a nap later in the day. By later I mean around 11 AM. And why do I have the luxury of napping at 11 AM you ask? It's because I'm a writer. Yep, that's right, I write. We're not conventional people. We have special needs. We do things differently. We're quite hardened mainly because we deal with failure and rejection all the time. We have time impoverished lives where work just gets in the way and we have to spread ourselves around the family, friends, frenemies, debt collectors, schools, kids sports, ballet moms and our imagination. Our burning desires. When the hell do we get time to write?

What Does Your Favourite Method of Working Say About You
We all work in different ways. Just look around your office now and you’ll see an array of styles. Some listening to music, some preferring the quiet. Some sitting on normal chairs, others going for those balls that apparently help your posture. And when it comes to approaching our work, we deal with that in an array of fashions too. So what does your style of work say about you as a person? Let’s see.

Workplace Wellness at Home
Freelancers have it easy, they say. There is no daily commute to endure. No dealing with annoying coworkers or bosses. We don’t feel our souls slowly dying within the confines of a workplace seemingly designed to kill us as slowly and as excruciating as possible.

A Burden Lessened
I have written a few times here about my writing process, and how destructive it can be. Also about how writing my former favorite subject matter (political satire) was becoming too much of a burden to continue to write. (If you are interested in reading those pieces you can find them here, and here.) But, I have started a new creative venture recently, and now four weeks into it and I feel good enough to finally write here about it.
