I guess there are lots of opportunities, even in Brighton, to use it. I’ve always thought about the summer jobs option – sounds good – every cost covered and about 200-300 quid a week. I guess Brighton has a ton of English schools too. <br /><br />I remember finding the CELTA hard but as you’ve already taught for a year, perhaps it’ll be much easier for you. Anyway, it’s more fun than working. <br /><br />Travel is a great source of writing, just because more and crazier things seem to happen, especially when you’re on your own. Your HK story definitely gave me a sense of place. I usually only achieve that if I write in the moment (you know whilst on the train etc) as I then take more note of sounds, smells and details. <br /><br />You'll have to write about your Taiwan experiences soon!<br /><br />I plan to keep the project going. In fact I've got some big ideas for it, which I'd like to try over the next few months.<br /><br />Good luck. Enjoy your week off. <br /><br />Here's to more ART!!! Brian's blog a day is a great idea - forces you to write at least something everyday. He's just been in Malaysia, so he took his laptop and wrote updates from a top of a mountain, whilst on the train etc. So for him, there are no excuses anymore.English Simplicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08291692889512379501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137013109677651708.post-13807357128449577282010-05-01T12:58:17.111+01:002010-05-01T12:58:17.111+01:00Thanks for the words of encouragement:) Hopefully ...Thanks for the words of encouragement:) Hopefully I'll get a bit more done now as I've got a week off. I've just finished my job and am starting a CELTA course on the 10th (yes, I miss teaching too much so I'm going to do it again! Though just in the UK initially).<br /><br />The Hong Kong story is in fact just a story, though I did go there alone for a few days so that experience definitely inspired it. I never actually went to Penfold Park - just researched it on the internet! And the lady is completely fictional but I did meet some similarly interesting people on my travels. The time I spent travelling round Taiwan alone for a couple of weeks was absolute madness. I will write about that soon, either for the blog or the paper version of my zine (which I can send you a copy of when it's done ^-^). <br /><br />I hope you will keep up with your photography project, it's a really inspiring idea and the quality of the photos is amazing! I will keep looking at them as you put new ones up:)<br /><br />AlexisAlexis Somervillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05483508290967700715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137013109677651708.post-53424809331274885382010-05-01T02:04:56.931+01:002010-05-01T02:04:56.931+01:00So many ideas but none of them going anywhere fast...So many ideas but none of them going anywhere fast. I know the feeling. <br /><br />I loved your story set in Hong Kong. Your writing built up a picture for me and I really could sense the girl's awkwardness. Is it 'just' a story? I know you love taking pictures and model horses would be irresistible to you, surely, but none on the blog....<br /><br />Anyway, i've got to go to the airport to pick up the missus so I'll make this quick. <br /><br />I'll become your follower... as it inspired me to do some extra work yesterday. I know that sometimes, it seems that things never get done but if you keep at it, they almost always get completed n I think you're in it for the long haul. So I look forward to reading your first novel -- very soon!!!<br /><br />Good luck<br /><br />ChrisEnglish Simplicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08291692889512379501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137013109677651708.post-66998784351683415162010-02-02T20:00:03.531+00:002010-02-02T20:00:03.531+00:00lolzatron roflmasprimelolzatron roflmasprimeAlicer Binohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05414093945062624048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137013109677651708.post-32707303910126495052010-01-31T20:20:34.082+00:002010-01-31T20:20:34.082+00:00Yeah, the craft section is good too! :)Yeah, the craft section is good too! :)Alexis Somervillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05483508290967700715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137013109677651708.post-53743602877506573472010-01-31T19:01:53.238+00:002010-01-31T19:01:53.238+00:00Hove museum is great, it has an excellent contempo...Hove museum is great, it has an excellent contemporary craft section, or at least it did when I went there about 6 years ago :oDJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08340344484608406788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137013109677651708.post-1838269772617509822010-01-31T18:29:04.227+00:002010-01-31T18:29:04.227+00:00Ha ha Rob, love your special internet persona.
