About
I've only just noticed this 'description' section! Guess I'd better fill it out.
I am pretty average all 'round. I work as a development designer for a point of sale company, which means other people draw the pretty pictures, and I turn them into reality. I make prototypes, work out the mechanics and fine detail of individual parts, and then do engineering drawings and CAD models of them. Riveting stuff.
I have low self esteem, which means I consider myself of below-average intelligence and seek praise at all available opportunities. Just to warn you. I also tend to speak before I think. Just to warn you.
Er, what else? I have no training in writing or 'English' past GCSE, so I'd be an impostor if it weren't for the fact that I sometimes type up silly poems or the start of random stories.

by Iti 11 months agoHi Jaxx,
Thanks for accepting my request. I am not sure what you mean but Emerald is the title of my novel. -
by MinxieAD 11 months agoThanks. It's just taking so long! They do say it can take up to 4 months to receive a reply, so I may have a bit longer to wait yet? I don't think it is blowing your own trumpet. I'm enjoying following Seb's story, and I'm not a 'natural born fantasy reader', so I'm sure the members who are will appreciate the link! Maybe put chapters you're struggling with in critiques too, as they'll get a wider audience. I'll change my status to 'rejected' or 'ecstatic' when I hear back from Aunty :] or :[
