"Small, green eyes, usually holding a large mug of tea."
This was all I'd written for a long time on the Cloud, until I'd found my feet. To be honest though it is true. ;D
I've been writing since I learnt how, which was actually around age eight because I'm pretty dyslexic. It took me about four years to really learn to function properly with dyslexia and stop it from taking away from my school work.
I'm an amateur actress and singer. I've been in a few small shows around Dublin. I speak fluent Irish and some day when I have more time I'm going to write some interesting books for teens 'as Gaeilge' instead of the typical ones about farming or misery or both. :D
I've always been into politics and help out at various protests around town, like anti-war, Gay rights or against cuts to Social Welfare, stuff like that. I also work a bit with homeless people and plan on doing more of that after school.
I've got about seven books on the go, three of which are finished in their first drafts. I'm a vegatarian eco-warrior with an interest in mythology and that's about it! Love, peace, rock 'n' roll and all that jazz.

by JayCee 5 months agoHey. And thanks for saying hey, I guess. This is so much more worthwhile than Facebook, I find myself wishing I'd found you guys sooner.
Were you in Edinburgh for the Fringe, or is that a silly question? It might not be, since you're a writer. Last year I completely avoided everything festival-related and just doggedly went on scribbling away at notes in assorted corners throughout the city until it was over and I stepped out into the pamphlet-littered aftermath of all the good stuff I'd missed. Don't worry - I corrected that this year. What did you see and do? -
by Aonghus Fallon 5 months agoIt's called 'Reckless'. Got a great write-up in the Guardian, anyhoo. -
by Aonghus Fallon 5 months agoYup. Well I grew up in Wicklow, but I lived in Dublin for about ten years and still work there. Did you see Cornelia Funke has a new book out? Is she any good?

by Pete 7 months agoYou have excellent taste in music. Liking the Maroon 5 and you cant go wrong with Livin' on a prayer. Haven't heard the other one before, but sounding good. -
by Pete 7 months agoAnyone who likes Dr Who is worth befriending. oh and good luck with exams by the way. :)
