Ooh, pocket-sized psychopath! Literally pocket-sized, or just very short? I kind of just imagined exploding pockets, which is pretty awesome.

How's your masters going, by the way?

It's going well. I did a six-week internship at H4chette UK, and now I'm working on my dissertation and applying for goods. I must say the thought of writing a dissertation is pretty terrifying, but sadly I can't graduate otherwise, so ... :tongue

It's a standard component of a postgraduate course, yes.

Sounds like fun. What's your topic/concept? Can I read it when you're done? (I actually really like reading dissertations, esp ones about literature...).

And oooh at the internship! You must have learnt tons :D Do you know which area of publishing you'd like to work in?

And hey, I'm taller than your MC too! *is proud of this*

Haha. I actually can't wait to be doing postgrad stuff. It seems more interesting, and more independent-study-ish. I love self-directed learning.

ETA: Not saying I would enjoy writing 20,000 word academic pieces, lol (even I'm not this crazy, lawl). Just that the actual subject matter seems more engaging.

I read your last two blog posts and I'm so excited about your book :D. Morning Lisa. Sorry for the wonky format guys. I'm on my Android.

Thanks, Kidd :D

Ky! Yes, I'm still here. But only for a little while, it's 1am and I have work tomorrow. Sigh. *shakes fist at time differences*

I will visit more often! I have a lot more time on my hands at the moment, since I'm on winter break :D

I'm going to bed now, though. Night guys! Hope you all have great days :)

It's about how publishers and authors can engage with teenage readers. You'd be welcome to read it, but I fear it won't be very good. :tongue

Yes, the internship was wonderful. :LilLove:
