I've neglected this blog for too long, my bad, I wanted to do a short post every day and a big post on Sundays, of course, life has found a way to blow up your world, I shan't go into details here.
But I have good news, I've just finished a article on the Russian Asteroid that exploded over the city of Chelyabinsk, I go into some detail about where Asteroids come from, and what caused it to come our way. I finish off by asking why no one saw it coming. I realize that this summary makes it sound really boring, I really hope it isn't. It was really good fun to write.
Also in April I am going to be working in the politics in schools campaign run by ShoutoutUK. This is a cause that I honestly believe in. The current voter registration in the United Kingdom is below 50% and I believe that this is due to a lack of political education in our schools. I am so looking forward this, I can't wait.
Today is also my un-birthday, so happy un-birthday to me.
I was in a hotel last week, I was given the choice between firm and soft pillows, I took a long time to come to a decision. Clearly a first world problem that shows that I need sort my priories out.
I really need to get working on my alien protocol article. That's going to be fun to write as well. The weird thing is that if you had told me a year ago that I would love writing things, I would have most likely unleashed my secret superpower on you. Spider-man eat your heart out. Now it's opening up all of these opportunities for me that I am incredibly grateful for.
I'm thinking about setting up a WordPress site. I'm thinking I need somewhere to put articles that I write and have something professional to show any future employers. I of course will still keep this blog going, in fact I will use it for what a blog is for, I will blog my life. If you have used WordPress before; What tips do you have? How did you use it? And would you recommend it?
Choosing between firm and soft is hard work! Which did you go with?
ReplyDeleteI chose soft, it just felt nicer.
Deletethat sounds so wrong
DeleteI was also curious as to why the asteroid was spontaneous and unexpected. It is quite an interesting topic. I'm glad to see someone excited to write - especially about topics as thoughtful as alien protocol and the Russian Asteroid. I'm glad it's working for you too.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your WordPress site. Sounds like it's going to be cool. :-)
I had great fun writing the Russian Asteroid article, I found out this morning that it is going to get publish next week, it's my first piece to get published, I used to be a radio journalist, and I can tell you that it is a completely different style of writing. I'm no longer using my voice to provide the information, I'm using text. They are both fantastic.
DeleteThank you, I'm going to put my main professional articles on the wordpress site so that I have something to show any future employer.
But don't worry, I'm going to keep this blog going as well.
