About
York uni English Lit/Politics graduate, currently living in Staffordshire.
Getting over my lifelong habit of starting a story but never finishing it. At the moment, I'm working on a couple of Sci-Fi stories, one of which is a Doctor Who novella involving a psychotic computer =)
Also looking to utilise my slightly OCD approach to language and get into freelance proofreading/editing (doing a distance-learning course at the moment).
Quite enjoying the idea that I really could end up anywhere in the next few years =)

by Wrathnar the Unreasonable 8 months agoThink nothing of it, old egg. As for the Staffordshires, well, inbreeding is a terrible thing: webbed feet, thumbs growing out of foreheads and all that. Rum do, eh what? -
by Wrathnar the Unreasonable 8 months agoAbsolutely not! We Berkshire Bongwaters never mention the Staffordshire branch - oh, the shame!

by CJ 9 months agoGood tunes! Seen both bands live and was blown away by both (especially A Perfect Circle... they were *terrifyingly* good live!) - been a long time since the Levellers, though... ^^D -
by William 9 months agoThanks for the welcome PaD. I too seem to have a taste for dystopian fiction, I blame my school years, all they seemed to teach me was about dystopian fiction and it seems to have stuck. I have seen the film, as they always say the book was better, but that's not to put the film down. It was very well made. I tend to be quite experimental with my writing, half of it is probably not fit to be seen by anyone else. I have written the first draft of a novel though, which inevitably end up as a dystopia. I might post a short story up soon to get the ball rolling. What sorts of things are you writing? -
by Charlie 1 year agoHey, thanks for message. Spotted your tweet re tennis-ing. Brave in this wind! -
by Dizzy 1 year agoHaha, Watch out for rohue school busses, i had a little scuffle with one on the way to the train station!!
Yeah, i am too, but im really tring to get myself organised, cos that's were i fall hardest, it's coming along though... i think!
Yeah it was great getting some objective views, took me a minute to get up the balls of course, but i found it was well worth it! I mean thats what were trying to do, get strangers to be able to read our writing without it being rediculously hard to follow! I suggest try8ing it out, i plan to do it more, but picking the right person may be a bit difficult! -
by Dizzy 1 year agoHey man, yeah was great meeting you too, i had great time at the festival averyone was so amazin! No i actually had a nice trip, got the girl sitting beside me on the train to read my short stpry and give me an objective view on it, she turned out to be pretty sound and gave me directions for how to get to Heathrow :)
How bout you ? Didn't fall down any man holes on your long trek home ? :P haha
Thanks man, your music is no ttoo shabby either, i love this music :D
