Whats the best way to cover up a year on the dole on a CV?

I am an English Literature graduate, obtained a 2,1 last year but since then I have been taking some time out really, have no idea what I want to do with my life and for this reason I have not had a job. Every job I seem to look at seems boring or unobtainable. I have applied for lots of things but as of now I have found nothing. Anyway, time flies ridiculously fast and I am now in the position where I really do need to get working and there is a great gap in my CV. Any advice?

Isn’t it obvious? “I took a year off to work on my novel.”
