11 Random facts about me
- I have the itchiest, runniest goddamned nose right now, because of this horrendous thing called hayfever that has plagued me for as long as I have been breathing andasdfghgfdsaasdfgfdsdfghj
- I really enjoy run on sentences, like, I desperately wish they were grammatically correct. There is something passionate, frantic, and rhapsodic about the rhythm of a run on sentence for me. It feels like tumbling down and down a hill; it's the perfect way to express the way emotions can just carry you away.
- I have been going through a long-term writer's block specifically around my writing of poetry (scroll down and read my blog on it, in fact!), but I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
- I still have the full DVD set of 'Welcome to the NHK' that actually belongs to the anime society....from the university I graduated from last year. (Sorry guys! I keep forgetting to give it back when we meet up!)
- I saw Lorde live last night. It was really cool. Her style of performing is really cool to me. I can't get over seeing her at the beginning of the show; the first song was just her on the stage, an eighteen year old girl with some of the most killer stage presence I have ever seen.
- I'm running out of ideas, fast.
- I got hit over the head with a typewriter I had when I was in nursery, by one of the other girls in the nursery that was a little dickhead. One of these days I'm going to write a poem about how that moment knocked all of these words into my head and made me a writer.
- I used to hate Tumblr, and I still kind of hate it, but I'm on it all the time.
- I have cried ugly tears over two books in my entire life: 'The Amber Spyglass' by Phillip Pullman and 'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green.
- I'm in love. :)
- I am a 22 year old with a job and responsibilities, and I want to be a mermaid.
11 questions!
- If you could resurrect a fictional character who died in their story, who would it be?
Spoilers, spoilers everywhere.
- What's the most challenging part of blogging for you?
Consistency, and not getting bored of/frustrated with it after a month. Which is why I don't have an active blog...
- If you couldn't write/read your favourite genre(s), what genre would you write/read?
*pained shriek* It would be all sad short stories about unrequited love and autumn leaves, that sort of blurs the line between prose and poetry. I'm not sure what genre that is though... Poncy Prose?
- Who would you love to co-write a book with?
Literally no one. My writing process is so neurotic and indecisive and “ARGH I HATE IT *deletes 500000000 pages and saves the document before I can let regret set in* that I couldn't work with someone without alienating them forever. :(
- What apocalypse do you think would be the least awful
Anything involving steampunk and not involving zombies. Also human survival would be nice, thanks.
- Which tv show would you love to appear on?
QI. Oh my God yes. <3
- What's the most rewarding part of blogging for you
People telling me they liked what I wrote, pretty much. :)
- What project are you working on right now
I've just got back to working on a long story (potential novel, but who knows) that I fell in love with the idea of a while back. I just have the images of all the scenes of it in my head, and it's just really beautiful and inspiring to me. Also it's kind of about mermaids.
- Tell us who your OTP is and why
Do you have all day? I mean, I still go back and re-read Peterick fanfiction to this day and love it. I'm one of those people that are really okay with pairing IRL people, because I'm not under the delusion that they are actually together *overt dig at the fandom*. But my OTP of all OTPs will forever and always be Drarry.
- Where would you go on your ideal vacation?
I'd just really love to go on a long vacation, touring all the most beautiful parts of the UK. There's so much on my own island I have never seen. :( That, or follow the Aurora Borealis around for a year. Wouldn't that be cool?
