: About Me

Charlotte Bryony Kelsey is a stereotypically impoverished student and aspiring writer. Currently living in the Northern outskirts of London, she enjoys spending the time she should be studying or writing doing origami, taking photographs and cooking. Being still in her youth, she has no children and no impressive letters after her name. She hopes to achieve the latter, rather than the former.
