An Expose-Lit Guide
There are a wide variety of chat rooms to mingle in. Depending on which groups you are a member of, they may have chat rooms where you can chat with other members just like you!
What’s so good about chat rooms?
Hanging out in chat is a great way to make friends; friends who don’t just watch you, but want to help you out.
Chat crit! The CRLiterature chat room hosts regular crit sessions where people will read and critique your work. Want to know when these sessions take place? Watch CRLiterature and/or ikazon for bulletins.
Interviews! Groups host chats with prominent dA writers to discuss literature and the community.

Good advice for an easy life
Be respectful and mindful of allowing others to have their say.
Try your best to use proper English, spelling and grammar while speaking.
Listen and read everything carefully before you reply.
If giving feedback and/or critique: if you ask, do not flame the deviant offering it to you. Use this advice at your own discretion.

It's been a week or so. I am still around. Go me.
one. life updates
(People's personal lives are my favourite thing about journals. Pls skip if that is not you.)
I am (a) no longer teaching (short answer: "I like teaching, I don't like being a teacher"), (b) not entirely true, I'm tutoring maths and English, and teaching creative writing to kids and teens some weekends, (c) I'm also doing temp bar work. Which would be fine if it weren't for people, (d) I'm also doing an MA in writing for young people starting September. Very much looking forward to meeting a load of weirdos like me and hanging out with them for a year. And writing, obvs. (
?
I keep trying to come back and I keep failing but I want to be part of dA again I miss it.
(Also, I'm totes under-employed now, so IT'S POSSIBLE?)
Swimming / Hammers
This term-time business is a lot of hassle and involves far more effort than I have the effort-muscles to put in.
Right now I am organising summer concerts, a zoo trip, finishing end of year reports, involved in various art week shenanigans and getting a pack of children prepared for sports day, I'm getting observed tomorrow, and that's relatively little in comparison to all those people putting in real effort-muscles. I'm mostly just swimming from day to day. Using doggy paddle. I'll get to where I need to be eventually, anyway.
(And that is? Summer holidays with brain still basically intact. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...)

Wildlife Rescue
We've been looking after some friends' felines while they've been travelling in New Zealand. They send us texts such as "sitting on a beach in the sunshine drinking beer. Our lives are so hard :(". Meanwhile we have become very attached to their cats.
Two days ago I was washing up and gazing out the kitchen window. The young ginger male, fittingly called Loki, was stalking through the overgrown lawn, thinking he was soooooo camouflaged.
