Well, seems I have chronic blog neglect. Nice to know that it will be here when I need it though. I have lots of small triumphs to record but as I didn't take my lithium last night I am in one of those moods where I am overwhelmed by my dreams. I thought if I post them here then I (or you, if you exist) can post ideas in the comments on how I should go about achieving this.
So here's the run down:
1. Become a children's doctor - an ambition I have had since childhood that uses almost all of my natural
gifts: barriers being - there are no part time courses(disability discrimination I
cry!); funding(top up fees); my Chemistry A level is not A but AS; fitness to
practice discrimination; the GAMSAT; difficulties of getting work experience
being from a non-medical family.
2. Do a PhD to benefit the world - money(though cheaper than medicine fees); needing to find a tutor
(arts/health/peer support/storytelling) who believes in me; coming up with a stonking proposal.
3. Sell my artwork (and not just to - confidence vs the benefits trap (i.e I'd get into trouble if I succeeded
friends/family) but if I failed I'd lose confidence.
4. Publish some writing - confidence to finish stuff; finding an agent; knowing where my talents lie
5. Get a short film shown at a festival - no access to final cut pro; need a wingman; need a fab idea.
6. Direct or write for professional theatre - lack of contacts; need experience to get experience; not being a
Londoner.
7. Start an arts' centre to employ people - would need around £500,000.
who face discrimination and enrich the
community culturally at the same time.
8. Get my own home - Dull but true. Then I could make it totally awesome, charge my friends just
enough rent to pay the mortgage and make an art studio in the cellar.
9. Be a radio presenter (hospital or community radio), should be possible, surely? And stand-up comedy.
10. Be well enough to travel.
And find a job, get well (as much as pos), find a nice man, have a baby and lose half a stone obviously!
