Admittedly, I am an exceptionally lazy student but, importantly, I am always engaged. The majority of my time is taken up by visiting places of interest and by reading works which intrigue me or could aid my own writing. If I see something of interest (an amusing scenario which could be made into a piece for example), I write brief notes which can then be built upon at a later date. As a creative writing student, this is something I am constantly engaged in; this by no means means that I am constantly working, I’d call it more remaining engaged with what is going on around me (as yes, that does mean I follow the news and keep myself up-to-date with what is happening in the world, as stories can, and are regularly, built from such events – look at most comedians).
