An Update & More on Myths to Believe In

Hi everyone, it's been a weird few days since I uploaded the Carat journal entry. When I promoted the post on Twitter and Google+ it got noticed pretty quickly by both university lecturers as well as some Carat managers. It just seemed to snowball from there and as a result I was asked by http://diginnmmu.com to write an opinion piece for them! The article I wrote tackled a similar subject to that seen in two previous posts I wrote back in June I think, on work experience and professional development; the new article will argue for the importance of digital skills alongside getting valuable work experience and taking the initiative to demonstrate commitment by doing something original and creative -like starting a blog for example! It should see publication sometime next week.

In any case I am very pleased with the result and if anyone who supported the previous post in any way is reading this, thank you very much, I hope I can return the favour in some way! The next Carat entry should hopefully be uploaded by this coming Friday or Saturday at the latest, because I've moved my internship day from Wednesday to Thursday. But regardless, I hope that you stay tuned and thank you for continuing to support this blog if you do check it regularly; I appreciate it.

But the brunt of this post is dedicated to something else and that is the second collection of poems entitled Myths to Believe In, which currently stands at over 65% completion I'd say, although it may take longer. A good deal of the poems to be featured you will most likely have already seen on this blog however, most of them have undergone drastic changes to make them more effective as part of a whole body of work, some of them only share a title and perhaps a couple of lines with their original drafts so hopefully if you found them initially disappointing, you'll change your mind! (I hope.)

What I will upload today for you however is the front cover of the book, which has been on FB/Twitter for a month or so, and which I hope you find aesthetically pleasing enough to look at!

And without further ado, please welcome Myths to Believe In!

Once again, I'm really grateful for all the views I've been getting recently, the Carat post is currently my all-time most-viewed at present! And if it wasn't for the re-tweets and shares, I probably wouldn't have gotten anywhere near that amount, so thanks.
