Hello again!
Blimey, a lot's happened since I last wrote a journal on here- the highlights have to include hitting the 2000 pageview mark and a surprise feature here fav.me/d7poxqq by DailyLitRecognition! Just... wow. So I just want to say thank you very much to everyone who has supported me and who continues to support me and my endeavours (although that sort of makes it sound like I've run a marathon, or attempted to break the world record for eating the most cake. Or both at the same time... now that would be an achievement...) Because it is you lot, you marvellous people, who read my poems and stories and general random witterings, that encourage me to keep writing and who make Deviantart the wonderful place that it is. So thank you again!
Anyhoo, apart from that, my experiences of Summer so far have been quite good, apart from a scuffle with a Greek beach umbrella and the persistent, and entirely unwanted, attentions of a seagull in London..... Oh well. The weather in the UK has been incredibly stormy lately, which I love- it's the smell of the approaching rain, and the lightning and thunder cracks that shake you awake in the middle of the night. But not always rain with it though, which is odd- it's just what I think of as angry weather. As if the universe is furious about something- hmm...
And, of course, I'm counting down the days until 23rd August, and the re-materialization (see what I did there?) of my favourite tv show- aaah, I can't wait to see what the new Doctor is like! The trailer looks quite dark and scary in comparison to previous series. What do you think?
Well, this is me signing off for now, see you soon!

Happy Birthday to Thee...
Good Morrow!
It would be impossible for me to let this day go by without marking the 450th birthday of my favourite man (thus the appropriate greeting for you above :D).
Theories abound about his true identity. Was he really the grammar school boy who rose to greatness? Was he in fact Edward de Vere, the Earl of Oxford? Was he not even one individual, but a team of Elizabethan poets and playwrights who collaborated on some of the most famous works?
The thing is, even if he's not the man from Stratford, does it really matter? What counts is that someone (or maybe some people), at some point generated some of the finest literature the Englis
Happy Easter!
Hi everyone,
How are you? This is just a quick message to wish you all a great Easter! (and of course to prettify my journal with this skin for a while! :D )
Not much has been going on writing-wise recently, I'm afraid- I'm still swimming in speaking exams and essays and Latin and whatnot. I'm just grateful to get home on a Friday and sink into the arms of the weekend...but... I am working on some Doctor Who fanfiction, just for fun, so you may see that in the next few weeks, if I can juggle it with exams... ooh, I can see you falling off your chairs in anticipation already! Well, try to contain your excitement for a little longer- it's com
Writing: Food for Thought
Hi all,
I hope that everything's going well for you in the New Year so far- I can't believe that it's February already!
A couple of weeks ago I found this thought-provoking journal:
After reading it, I thought that I'd take the opportunity to tell you a bit more about myself, and why I love writing, because I've never really considered the reasons before.
Firstly, I write because it gives me a voice. I write because I'm small and insignificant, and I can't speak out for fear of rustling feathers. I write because I'm weak and cowardly, and words make me feel a bit braver, like I have power over something.
Words and phrases emerge from th
Season's Greetings
Hi everyone,
This is just a quick message to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I can't wait for Christmas myself- that Christmas tree smell, glorious roast potatoes and long-awaited TV specials, all served with copious amounts of brandy butter and bickering. But whether you celebrate Christmas or not, I hope that you enjoy your day and have a prosperous New Year.
Best of luck in 2014!
