I live in a small box on an island called the United Kingdom. I can be found wandering the streets of my hometown and the neighbouring cities, listening to the Ink Spots, smiling to myself, maybe wearing reindeer antlers. I love to write and read, draw and paint and photograph and sing, and if you want a chat then drop me a note. u w u Three things you should know about me on Wattpad: 1) I have ridiculously thick skin. Please don't hesitate to criticise my work. In fact I often wish people would give me more negative feedback so I have something concrete to work on. It irritates me that people judge the quality of my work by how old I am, and sometimes I think people are scared to be honest in case they offend me. 2) If I comment on your work, expect it to be thorough. I've probably written more commenting on other people's work than I have in both my fiction and poetry combined. ;) 3) I love a bit of editing, me. So if you're after an edit, I'm your gal. Holly P.S. In the last year, some of my work has been real and proper published, and you can find that over here: http://dogeatcrowmag.wordpress.com/2013/01/29/deep-waters/ http://www.teenink.com/poetry/free_verse/article/495974/Quiet-Quiet/

@eponyMouse No problem. Thanks for sharing your writing! There's a lot going on around me at the moment, so I've been reading a bit sporadically, but I'll definitely come back and check out more of your work. You write beautifully.

@SomewhatDistracted Yeah, that's fair enough I suppose. Something like that would be enough to spook any author out of their shoes. O.o I'd love to be a beta reader, or just to have a glimpse of the story when it's done. :D Thank you - I'm honoured *bows* I'm glad my feedback has been helpful.

I think I should tell you that you are very high up there on my choices for beta readers! Your input has been spot on and I'll make sure you see it. TCP may reappear very briefly, but for now it's gone. I just got really spooked by my other story. I'll keep you posted.

Hi, In response to your query Voice 1 is the wife and primary carer of Voice2. It is based on my Mother, and the current situation she is in, this happens most days, I have witnessed it. I agree with your point about sobbing , I did intend to imply quiet uncontrollable sobbing, I will re-edit to make that clearer

@Scout_Finch No problem. :) Thank you for sharing your awesome writing! Yeah, word limits are good sometimes. When I start something new, I like challenging myself to finish in a certain number of words. It really forces me to think about what I'm saying, and choose just the right way to say it. And it's interesting that you prefer The Power of Something. Maybe I'll give it another go.

Woah, and thanks so much again for The Power of Something. I'm surprised you liked Milo so much better. 256 Pages was for a short story assignment in class so there was a word limit and all that jazz. I found myself limiting my ideas and when I read them both I see The Power of Something as the stronger piece. It's really nice to have another perspective on this!

Oh. That makes sense. xD My bad. I was wondering what you thought was wrong with that, because it was the ending I particularly liked. Also, I...Unseen (Atty's 2012)
