It's all going on!
After months of hard work and waiting for things to resolve themselves, it seems things really are coming together for me at long last. Not only is my book finally coming together, but I’ve also got a job working as a writer in Hammersmith.
On Monday 4th October I start my new job working as a Content Writer for Chinese MMO firm ChangYou. Really looking forward to getting started to be honest, and equally excited about moving back to London. The only problem is actually finding somewhere to live! Thus far I’ve booked in a couple of viewings for Friday, but if I can I hope to squeeze in a few more before the end of the weekend with a view to moving next week if at all possible.
If all this wasn’t enough, my part-time Masters course starts in a few weeks’ time which should be equally exciting, and as if this wasn’t enough, I think my book might finally be nearing completion!
After hours of slaving away at my computer I’ve now successfully formatted the book by hand to a British standard book size, and am planning on submitting my work to the printers as soon as I get my fully finalised book cover off my old publishers. The cover, if I’m honest, is looking pretty awesome. It’s now almost exactly as I pictured it when I was first thinking about covers a couple of years ago while in the middle of finishing the final book. Even though I still have some worries about what people might think of my work, I’m confident in my mind at least, that as work produced between the ages of 18-22, it’s as good as I could have made it then, and is a good indication of my journey as a writer from naïve 18-year-old to the hopefully more mature, more rounded individual I am today.
More updates will of course be posted as and when I have them. For now though, I shall get back to the daunting task of house hunting!
Until next time,
M.J.Ryder
