I chose my pen name after one of my favourite characters in one of my faourite books died. Should change it after reading the first however.
I began my writing carer in geography class in year 8 when I decided that my friend and I would co-write a story about a giant talking blender named "Stinky" who escaped his evil owner who would mix all sorts of horrible things in him (thus, making him stinky) only to run into intergalactic, space hillbilly's and sharing a flat with Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader who were trying to be a normal family. He took up many good pages of my geography book, but alas, those pages are now lost to me forever.
My career was put on hold as I went through normal teenage phases, I did, however keep to a diary and I believe I have over 15 of them which would be an absolute gold mine into the going on's of an avarage teenage girls mind. They're quite long and boring however, but I hope one day that someone gets something out of them.
I joined a writing school after I graduated, surprising I made it at all concidering all I did was pretend to listen to lectures whilst I secretly read books and plotted story lines for my own blockbusters in the back of my folder.
The writing school didn't work much for me, I prefered to do things on my own, and so I kept the books on how to write and am still reading over them to this day.
To keep busy I still plot great story lines and observe anybody and everybody, hoping to see something inspirational in them. I keep to writing fanfiction for now and the occasional song or angsty line of annoyance. I still keep a diary and I still read so much that it has made me become short-sighted. Distance is a problem for me.
I love music, martial arts, art, movies, sports, family, friends and constantly keeping busy.
My passion is ...
Music and writing, I know what listens well and what reads well.
I know too much about ...
People, I make it my business to know ... some are so fascinating! And gossip!
My parents always told me ...
I should run away and join the circus, especially now there's a whole school for it.
My childhood ambition ...
to be famous ... will I make it? Who knows!
My favorite memory ...
Hmmm, too many. Simply sitting in the sun, a gentle breeze floating by and cows mooing in the distance.
Why I write ...
It makes me feel better. Like emptying my head, sorting out my feelings and so maybe one day my great grandkids will know wat type of person I was.
What I am reading/watching/listening to ...
Reading Eragon (figured I should after the movie), watching Gilmore Girls, listening to Gym Class Heroes.
My first job ...
Delivering pamphlets.
My best moment ...
Just having fun with friends, always best moments.
My inspiration ...
Music and books. Perhaps my brother.
From the moment I could work a VCR I engulfed myself into a world of Martial Arts movies. Subtitles, black and white, fantastic or poor special effects, it didn't matter, I had seen it. But what makes such a good Martial Arts film? To me, it wasn't all about the stunts, even though they played a huge part, it was about story and character.
What was the point in having wondrously created, action packed fighting scenes when you were unsure of why two people were fighting in the first place? That was why, for me, the best Martial Arts movies were always one's that had depth and a character ...
