: About Me

I have been writing since I was six, when my favourite book was Sleeping Beauty, except I preferred my version to the one written down! But I didn't realise that I would be a writer until someone once asked my nana what I was going to be, and she told them "a writer" - if she believes in me, then I know I can do anything.

I had a story published in a school magazine, and have written several unpublished stories.

I like writing about news issues, opinions, computer games, and celebrities (I'm the person to ask about what other tings actors/actresses have been in!).

I have just launched my freelance writing website, so check it out: http://katmusselwhite.webs.com/

My passion is ...

Words. I love the way they look, sound and work together.

I know too much about ...

Organising trips, the Final Fantasy series, gossip.

My parents always told me ...

To be whoever I want to be, and do whatever I want to do.

My childhood ambition ...

To be a writer or a Fairy!

My favorite memory ...

performing plays that I'd written in front of my class in Year 6

Why I write ...

Because I have to, I need to write like people have the breathe.

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

I'm reading New Moon by Stephanie Meyer, and listening to La Roux

My first job ...

My best moment ...

Graduating from University! I love seeing my photo on my Nana's shelf!

My inspiration ...

My mum - she'd been through so much, and still manages to stay strong!

For his Ma, however, "Room" is nothing more than a prison, within which she and her young son have been forced to live, by her captor. The story might sound familiar, and that's because it is.
