Hello there. I want to thank the people who read my writing and visit this page.

About me:

I'm twenty two and live in the UK. Manchester to be exact. I enjoy watching films, reading and playing the odd game. But above all, I enjoy writing. It's one of the few things which I feel I have a talent in.

I haven't attempted to publish anything yet, but I'm getting close to sending a piece off for the first time. I don't normally write articles on non-fiction, so I'm trying to feel my way in how to present them on this website.

I normally write fiction. I write a combination of short stories and I am attempting one or two novels, all in different genres. Regarding reading, I do enjoy fantasy but only certain types. Namely, the ones that strive to try and be unique. But again, I read in different genres other than fantasy.

Over time when I have something to show, I hope to share a fair bit of my creative writing, rather than rely on submitting non-fiction articles.
