So, it is Thursday afternoon. I moved into university dorms on Saturday, and spent the weekend getting settled in, meeting my new dorm-mates and making an adequate mess of my new room. I was going to post something about it on Monday evening, but one of my Dorm-mates convinced me to go out instead.
Well, I say convinced me, but I'll admit that he didn't really have to work very hard. I
Anyway, Monday evening I got drunk. I got in such a state, in fact, that I received the closest thing to divine retribution there is in the form of a two day hangover. I am not proud of myself, to say the least.
So, I couldn't blog Monday for obvious reasons, nor Tuesday because I think I may have temporarily died, Wednesday I didn't quite feel up to it though I did just about manage to leave the dorm and today is Thursday. And... that's probably all that I have to tell you right now. So, yeah...
Also, in case you were wondering about the seemingly random title, scrambled eggs is my 'hangover food'. As in, it's what I eat when i feel like shit and can't actually blame anybody but myself. Thank F- I can actually at least cook that much.

Lessons Learned
It's been a moderately busy summer, and by moderately busy I mean that I've had absolutely nothing to do. I had some technical issues earlier in the summer, which were repaired some weeks back now, and have gotten back to some projects that had been left unattended over the summer.
I also got a few new stories out, and have just learned a very valuable lesson. You see, I just got an acceptance for an anthology, which is absolutely wonderful, especially since this was quite an out-of-genre experience for me, to say the least (and also because I might be making some money off of this one, but really that's not what I write for). As it's so different to what I normally write, I'm using a pseudonym.
So, my important lessons learned. I could tell you how I've learned that, even if I'm not used to writing something I should give it a go anyway, that I should have more faith in myself as a writer, that I've learned to step out of my comfort zones as an author and try new things in my writing... But what am I saying; what I've actually learned is that, at least when there's payment involved, authors have to fill out quite a bit of paperwork, and that is something that I do not enjoy.
Small price to pay to put "Published Author" beside my name, I know, but it's times like these that I really wish I could afford to hire somebody else to take care of the tedious tasks for me.
