Guilty puchase?

I work in a newsagents that has a post office at the end and while I was at work today I noticed something very peculiar.

First I will start at the very beginning, a very good place to start! Sorry I got a bit carried away with the song there. Well as I said I work in a newsagents and every day we have fresh cakes delivered, from the local bakery. My job is to sell as many cakes as I can between my working hours of 11-3. If I don't succeed then I either have to throw them away, which is a waste, or stuff myself silly with baked goods.

So to continue with my point, it amazes me when people appear to feel obliged to buy a cake even though they really don't want it! It seems that all I have to say is "How about a nice cake?" This seems to convince shoppers that they would feel extreme guilt if they walked away empty handed.

No wonder experts have come to the conclusion that we are becoming an obese community. However I am not going to complain if I guilt trip someone into buying a cake (I DO NOT DO IT ON PURPOSE MAY I ADD) as it saves me having to eat them!

Does anyone feel these pangs of guilt when someone offers to sell you something??

Until the next time

To write or not to write??

Ok so here goes with my real posting. I have been worried since my last post as to whether I have made the right decision about writing this blog. I have to realise that the more writing I do the better I will get (or that's what I hope anyway).

I have recently received my feedback for my first assignment on my writing course and I have to say it was quite good. Considering I have never written anything to be marked on a professional level I was quite pleased with myself. Knowing that my grammar and spelling is just fine, knowing I'm not a complete idiot, I am a tad more confident with my writing.

I have submitted my second assignment and am patiently, ok not so patiently, awaiting the return of the feedback.

My problem is that I don't know whether my writing is 'good enough'! On a professional level. To add to my problem, I have never written anything non-fiction before. All of the advice I have heard is to write about what I know. I feel that I am not really an interesting person. The interests I do have are not the kind of interests you see in a magazine, not to me anyway.

Still my main problem is I don't know whether to carry on with my third assignment, not knowing whether I am going in the right direction with my writing, or do I wait for my feedback to make sure I don't make the same mistakes again??

I am sure I will find a solution to my problem, or so I am very much hoping.

So for now I will bid you all good night...

A bit about me...

Well where to start, my first ever blog. I am 19 years of age and I live in the UK. I have lived here all my life and have not actually traveled far from home. I come from a very large family so most of my time is spent socialising with them.
I have been abroad only a few times to the Netherlands and am looking forward to start my travelling next year. First port of call is Egypt, on my honeymoon. I am a newly wed and have been married for 3 months now.
I am on a comprehensive writing course and at the moment am enjoying learning all of the new aspects of writing.
I have dreamt of becoming a writer for many years, even as a child, and am now hoping that I can follow my dream.

This may not be the best post but I promise that with time and practice they will get better.

Chow for now...
