complexsan

You often get odds thrown in your face now and again. Did you know that the chance of being struck by lightning is one in three million? Or did you know the chance of winning the lottery is one in fourteen million? I wonder if there are odds for my mistake? It hit me almost immediately what happened. I made a typo in my exam search.

Almost Quit – Chapter 2 – The Error

complexsan

– The Error Everybody makes mistakes. Some you can recover from, whereas others leave scars that serve as constant reminders of what you did, or in my case, didn’t do. As a student, you’re cursed with the proclivity to make mistakes, but with every passing year you grow and in turn (should) make less of them. But we’re humans not computers. We aren’t programmed to be without error, nor can we be updated if we’re found to have faults. If The Lord could testify he would tell you that I always had a big error on the horizon.

Whenever I’ve written short stories, they’ve always been exactly that…..short. I don’t have much experience in writing anything longer than a two page story, but I’ve decided to get into the practice of doing so. I will start publishing chapters to stories that I have written, mainly centred around my experiences, which are stacking up on my hard drive. I am currently writing a story called ‘Almost Quit’ and decided to publish the first chapter today. I don’t know if I will finish it, let alone publish the whole thing, but the first chapter will definitely be up very soon! … Continue reading Stories

Five Years

complexsan

Half a decade doesn’t seem long in the grand scheme of things. However, it’s felt like a lifetime.  I say this because I realised earlier that one of my closest friendships/relationships/acquaintances is approaching five years. I am a very open person and rarely shy away from letting people in. However I do still have a private side, so this won’t be a tell all blog, but I felt the need to express how much I value this particular person. Not say I value any of the other people in my life any less, because they’ll be the first to tell … Continue reading Five Years
