As my good friend Mike continually points out, I haven't posted anything on DA for a good while now.

Rest assured, I have not forgotten ye...I just haven't written anything particularly good recently. I blame the degree, over the last 8 weeks I've been working somewhere between a 50 and 60 hour week on "Afterwards," a devised theatre piece set in 1946.

That finished two weeks ago and after a week 'break' it's nose to the proverbial grind stone for another project, 'Merlin Unchained.' It's a new play by David Rudkin and we, the 3rd year Drama students of Aber-wherethefuckisthis-ystwyth will be staging its very first performance.

So yeah, it's not like I haven't been keeping busy. Add dissertation prep into that and I find my creativity has been somewhat drained. There's been the odd snippet spring to mind that may get developed, but any moment to relax these days is taken up relaxing, it's the only way to keep me sane.

It's been a long time since i've written anything that's very personally relevant to me, that kind of poetry is often regarded as childish/emo, but it can be both poignant and mature in its observations. May give that a shot, god knows I've enough to talk about.

Regards from the abyss,
Jon.

P.S. Still don't know what to do with my life. I might become a garbage man once my degree is finished, for the irony if nothing more.
