Ok, time to update this... 17 now, and still writing an (as yet unnamed) fantasy book - and have recently discovered a knack for writing haikus. Doing sciency stuff at college, and will possibly join the writers union some time in the future... Motto? The proof of the pudding is in the eating... Or something like that... Gosh this is a long bio... I'd better stop now...

#adventchallenge. I sit and look out of the window. There is a street lamp near by. As I stare into the night. I see a snowflake fly. Each one an individual. Such beauty all of its own.
