: About Me

I'm a twenty-two year old ex-student from the land of tea and fish and chips ... England.

I'm currently trying to break into the freelance writing world and surfing the Internet for writing websites led me to Helium's door.

My interests lie in the fields of entertainment and media and I'm particularly passionate about the English language. Now if only I could work out which area I should post my article under ...

My passion is ...

Reading and all things connected to it

I know too much about ...

Computer and video games - I blame the corrupting influence of my older brother.

My parents always told me ...

To give everything a try, at least once.

My childhood ambition ...

Was to own a pony. I never did.

Why I write ...

I write because I have to. My head is so full of ideas it would explode if I didn't get some of them down on paper.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I'm reading Terry Goodkind's 'The Sword of Truth' for the tenth time, because I want to erase the memory of how terrible the series has become by the eleventh book.

My first job ...

Paper-round. The most soul destroying form of employment

My best moment ...

After three years of chorus and bit-parts, being cast as the main part for my University musical.

My inspiration ...

The written word.

Defeats evil witch and is crowned king. Lives happily ever after with One True Love. It's The Lord of the Rings meets The Wedding Planner - there's even a piece of magical jewellery. So with this in mind, why have I now seen the film a total of four times? Because I'm a sucker ...
