Hi and welcome to an update of my week. Lots happened and I've only highlighted on the main points. I've done my first author interview under the pen name of Anna W Aden, the I lunched with my former inspirations colleagues in the city, and after that I supported an award winner at the Camden Adult Community Learning Celebrations!

First Interview as aspiring writer Anna W Aden

I’ve given my first interview as a writer. You know my writing pen name is Anna W Aden. So I’ve been interviewed by a fellow writer R-R. Varg (Rin Rin) and you can check it out here.

That is one of my life aspirations - to be a published novelist. So I’m starting with doing a few interviews on blogs, maybe writing some stories. I’m feeling my way now. So it’s something I’m excited about so have a read to see in my writer’s mode.

Lunch at Planet Organic in Devonshire Square!

I met up with my former collegeues who are truly team fabulous and inspirational for a spot of lunch at Planet Organic, Devonshire Square. I had good fun. I think I may need to take more pictures.

Camden Adult Community Learning Celebration!

I went to support a volunteer who won an award helping adults with their literacy and conversational needs. How awesome is that! It's very inspiration when people against all the odds - make a decision to change their lives and keep on at something. Some learners were motivated by keeping up with their children, the older generation like over 80 wanted keep up with technology. We take using things like a tablet - iPad etc for granted but lots of people can't use this. So they are isolated from their family and the world.

Well done!

Moving Forward, I've lots going on at the moment. Like plenty and hopefully will be going on holiday/vacation soon. Well in a couple of months time! Will look out for interesting things to say or post. Maybe turn it more visual.

Anyway check out my interview!

And some meme for you!

Up Date on Happenings: Newly Single & 17% pay raise.

Hey Everyone, So update since my last entry. Well I had a brief fling with Mr Sexy Guy and decided he wasn't the one for me. He was cool but I learned the difference between lust, chemistry and personality. It just didn't tango for me. I'm still grossly overweight, well, fat. I don't think there is anything wrong with being called fat. I am fat. I need to lose weight but that means getting organised and stop eating delicious food. Then again my knees are hurting me and joints feel the ache. I also haven't been to the gym in three months despite paying for it. But when I do, I normally go for the sauna, hot tub and steam room session. I've thought of cancelling the exorbitant membership but in the climate apart from bills it's the one thing that is just for me...that when I use it. Work is fine, managed to get a 17% pay raise. A big thanks to my boss who also pushed for it. It's good to work for people who support you in that matter. I think tha...

Show me your desk: Books, magazines, bottle of water, and same old clutter.

Today I have more of a writerly desk, so let's roll. From the far left handside is my writing magazine, I treat myself to it, and it has some interesting articles at times. It's just something I flick though the way other people buy GQ, Vougue or Marie Claire. It's my monthly interest magazine, and no I don't do the writing exercises but then who buys all the clothes, make-up and perfume advertised in the high-end women's magazines. Next is a bottle of vitamins, this was a gift from Sis. Yes, as you probably realise, Sis is very generous with her gifts as they are normally featured on my desk. If fact the Apple Notebook is also one. A small fact is that I bought my first phone only two years ago because for the last ten years, Sis gave me all her hand-me-downs. She's very on top of technology - ahead of the curve, wave or early adaptor. Anyway she got me them because she's into healthy eating and body care, and probably got them on discount. ...

March Update: Photoshop Composting, Writing, Meal Plan, My first trip out of my area.

This is one of the composites, I created in one of the courses. This was based on graphic design and I feel like an island floating in a new landscape. It is a composite of three images with a bit of blending. This was from a boo Photoshop Composting I'm still finding my way with this, so I have the technical skills which I realise it a matter of masks and blending modes however the next thing is to keep on doing it until I learn the principles of graphic design. It's complicated to explain and I'm still finding my way but basically at some point I need to start doing my own stuff, and right now those images look a bit awkward until I get the design aspect right. It can be fun but also some aspects can be tedious and boring. And I guess it's a matter of keep on practice, and I also want to get to the point, I can use my own pictures. Writing Going well and steady, nothing significant to report on that front. But I'm looking at a soft deadline of completing...
