Hello, I haven't forgotten about you! I am writing the second part to my four-part ending and am halfway through at 9k, oops. Apologies it's taken so long, what with Christmas preparations at work and our students bouncing off the walls, it has taken a little longer than I had anticipated.

Alright, the Dumbledore chapter is out but I can't lie: I don't like it. I uploaded it and immediately regretted it, something about it feels off. I will review it in time, I'm up to my tits in paperwork for work and am not feeling very creative.

Narcissim timeeee!
          
          Wow! What a fun month. New school year, so we have a new load of year sevens who are a mixed bag- not as chaotic as last years but we still have time. Weirdly, it was the girls last year that stood out and this year it's the boys and that is a lot easier to handle. I'm in the process of training for a promotion, looking at going into two fields: Speech and language, as well as working with the teacher for the deaf for our HI students, both of which I have some experience in. I did an A-level in English language, some of which involved training to be a S&L therapist, plus I'm already deaf so there's not much I need to pick up other than how to use other brands of radio mics.
          
          Speaking of work, I'm going on my first school trip this month, throwing myself in the deep end and taking the entirety of year seven on a camping trip for three nights. Am I looking forward to late October in a tent with a woman I barely know? No, not really, but I know I'll enjoy it while I'm there, or at least make some good memories. Hopefully I can do a patriarchy and convince a nice strong man to put up my tent for me <3
          
          Health-wise it's been fairly annoying: I had my yearly PCOS period early (five months is the shortest gap I've ever had, but at least I had it then and not while I'm camping) and had a tilt table test last week which was annoying: instead of confirming POTS, I just have an unexplained fast heart rate and a 2:1 block, joy.
          
          Chapter wise, I know I had very little to come out of it this month, other than a Dennis Creevey chapter I had in the archives for a few months. But I have been woking on them, and have managed 12k words this month, which isn't bad considering I've been at work the entire time. I would love to sit here and promise you that a chapter will be up soon, but we all know that is a bare-faced lie. I will say that I am continuing to work on one, and the first part should be out by November, if I don't get distracted.

Apologies for the notification: instead of pressing "save" on my chapter, I accidentally clicked "publish". Apologies for the potential spoiler, it was only up for ten seconds and had no views and I promise it is a working title x

Hello! Definitely didn't forget to post an August update!
          
          The last month was my well-deserved break from work, so I got a fair few things done. I went to Oxford with my girlfriend and went round a few museums, galleries and gardens, which were beautiful. I did summer school with the new year sevens and that was busy, cooked lunch for them every day and lost several pounds running after a handful ADHD legends armed with acrylic paint. I did my pride voluntary work, where I did the march in my pink high-vis jacket and waving a massive trans flag. And, perhaps most exciting of all, I got paid and did a massive food shop, managing to stock my freezer with meat.
          
          Wattpad-wise, I did manage to upload a chapter to my book. I have four in the works right now which I am working on all at once, but they do come out as a four-parter, so there is some incentive to finish the first one first. However, the last two are just too exciting, meaning I will likely complete those first and then have to go back. So yes, I am still actively writing, it's just taking a while because I am neurodivergent.
          
          What's in store for September? Well, I am going to go to Southampton art gallery at some point, as well as the sea city museum, so I have an action-packed weekend coming up at some point. I'm also going to book to get some new tattoos at some point, which is very exciting- I'm due to get a lot of over-time from summer school, enough to pay for tattoos 26-29, these being a bluebell on the side of my left lower leg, some crossed ferns on my left shin, a pair of cockatiel feet on my left shoulder and three small flowers on the inside of my right arm.
          
          In short, life is exciting.
          
          Love you all, 
          Caroline x

I absolutely love seeing when people have added my silly little wizard stories to their reading lists. Partly because it's nice to see you enjoyed them, and mainly because some of the names for your lists do make me smile. Most of the time it's something like "Harry Potter"/ "Drarry"/ "(x)'s reading list" but occasionally you get a bit more... creative. I'm not going to name and shame you freaks, but you know who you are.
          
          Some of my recent favourites:
          
          -✨The Best✨HP 002 (it's written with sparkles so you can tell it's official)
          
          -Barry Trotter's escapades (I have also read the Barry Trotter series and it is quality)
          
          -Straight up eye porn  (not on this account)
          
          -Jason Todd (I had to Google who this was and apparently he's a lovely fellow in a red waistcoat. Not sure what this had to do with Harry Potter, but ok)
          
          -Bath fic list (Please don't get your phone wet)
          
          -I'm fucking angry (Me too, babe)
          
          -Plot Holes and Headaches (Fair)
          
          -Books that lost the fucking plot (Also fair)

Yo yo you, narcissim blog time!
          
          Ok, I have not been on Wattpad for about a month. The main reason was work: GCSEs finished but there was sports day (I did the staff tug of war then proceeded to faint in front of 200 students and give myself a nose bleed, but I won so I'm still counting it as a win), transition day with the new year sevens and I'm in the midst of preparing for summer school, which ought to be exciting. BUT it's five days into the summer holidays now so I shall have little to no excuse to upload at least one damn chapter in August.
          
          My plans for the summer holidays are to do summer school, volunteer at my Dad's charity shop, volunteer in the kitchens at the local Mosque and to be a body guard at Pride (last year it was little old me and three six-foot bears, because they needed a female and decided my 5"3 ass would do), which is cool.
          
          Anyway, I'm up early tomorrow morning sorting out more stuff for summer school, where I am going to a beach to collect 500 pebbles for an arts and craft project. The little shits better be grateful, it is meant to be 30c and I am a half-welsh goth. Hopefully, I can get an ice cream.
          
          Anyway, love you all, and see you in August! xxx

Oi oi, savaloys and welcome back to the narcissism monthly blog!
          
          This Friday I get paid, so I am getting myself an Ipad, which is very exciting. One feature of this (other than playing Minecraft and attempting to build Hogwarts for the eighth time) is the ability to draw some actual art to use in my stories, which will be great. I will preface this with I am absolutely not an artist and have no experience with digital media. At best, I can hope that they're at least funny enough that no one takes them too seriously, but it will be cool to finally have relevant artwork for my chapter titles.
          
          Work is fine, exam season is nearly over so I can have a little sit down for a bit afterwards. They're bringing in a bouncy castle for the end of term and you better bet your ass that my 22-year-old self shall be the first in line. I've sat 59 hours in complete silence over the last month and a half as an exam invigilator, I think I deserve it. 
          
          I did have a slight hiccup- if you didn't know, I am deaf and got into hot water because I didn't notice that a fire alarm was going off during a drill. Oops! This was especially not good as I'm meant to be a fire safety inspector for my department (science) and have been gaily walking around incapable of hearing people burn to death, which is apparently something I now need to fill out a health and safety form about. Personally, I think they should concentrate on just not being on fire, but I worry that if I bring this up, it will not go down well.
          
          Anyway! Story-wise, I have about six chapters in the bank in various stages of done- some that need to be spell-checked and some that need to be written in their entirety. These include more physical health conditions as I've been neglecting them in my one-shot series for the past few entries, but they're a mixed bunch. In short- I have ideas, now I just need time and motivation.
          
          Anyways! I hope you're all doing well and I shall catch you in July! xxx
