Deviation Actions
I have like 14 notes waiting for replies right now so I thought I better post a quick journal... I have like 21 days until I move back into Uni halls and I am trying to get things done that I put off whilst I'm in Bath (like the dentist, meeting the bank manager, seeing my doctors etc) so I am a little bit swamped this week.
I don't open notes if I know they are going to ask me to do something until I know I have time to action them, otherwise the note no longer shows up as a number in my header (even if I mark it as unread) and therefore I don't have a visual reminder that somethings waiting to be done. Thats just how I am because I'm so forgetful... but I have received your notes and I will deal with them ASAP I swear.
I also have a tightness down my thumb and in my forearm which I think comes from obsessively checking my phone too much and / or using my touchpad on my Macbook for all those hours compiling the Geek's Guide to Lit Groups... so I'm trying to force myself to become a little less dependent on DA (I LOVE IT HERE DAMNIT) and not check it every couple of minutes.... and that I plan on trying to maintain even once my week clears up.
I love you all, I hope you'll forgive me for taking a couple of days with a little less intensity around here.

Poetry competition (Ends this week)
Hi guys! I am running another poetry competition (off DA) and thought I'd tell you about it. It has cash prizes (paid via Paypal or similar online bank transfer options) and has some free entry options if you are eligible! It closes in a few days, so if you have a poem that fits the theme (Embers, Ignite) then go ahead and enter, or get writing! More information at www.CandleLiterature.com As we worked on the name CandleLit (@CandleLitPoets on FB, Insta and Twitter) and our tag line ‘Poetry that lights a spark‘ there was a reoccurring image of embers, almost dying, igniting flames like words sparking ideas in the audience at a poetry night. So we decided that we would make that our first competition’s theme, to help you get to know us as much as we get to know you through your entries! You can interpret this theme any way you like, there are no restrictions on that. You might want to go for the idea of something almost dying out, but surviving. The idea of something giving birth
