Secondly I should probably apologise about not writing anything for ages! Been caught up in Masters, working and, who am I kidding, drinking whilst back at uni! Hopefully cutting down on the last one and picking up the other two more! I have a new positive 'get sh*t done!' attitude!
Thought I would let you know what I am doing in my Masters, as I think it is pretty cool! First off I am doing a module on the Myth of King Arthur, which I absolutely love! I did my undergrad dissertation on Merlin so I am very happy with this! Thinking of getting the feminist out of her bag for my essay for that one which could be interesting! The other module I am doing is Tolkien's Medievalism, which basically means I am reading Tolkien's work alongside the medieval texts which inspired him. Have you ever thought of reading Beowulf alongside the Hobbit? No? Well do it! It is so cool! I am planning on writing my essay on dragons and how cool they are! Well not really, but how Tolkien uses Dragons in his children's stories and comparing them to the dragons in Beowulf and other Old English texts. Which, in my honest opinion is pretty blooming cool!
I think I will try and start writing this once a week again. It might be pretty boring after the excitement of Doctor Who though. I am hoping to write another story for this (This time a murder mystery!) But I need time to do that, and at the moment when I have spare time I should be reading or writing my essays! (Part of my new attitude!) Hopefully it will last for at least a while!
Here is an illustration of Smaug from the edition of the Hobbit I own myself
