Status: Bit of free time so I think I might see what I can write up for N in the A-Z. I have Nightmare jotted down, but it seems too typical. (1 day ago)

Hello!

My name is Demi. I'm an eighteen year old college student from England. I study Sociology, English Literature and English Language currently. I also work part time at a bakery and rehearsal studio. I should be studying a Sociology degree at Leeds University later on this year.

My other hobbies and interests include playing electric guitar and sketching portraits.

If there was one career I ever wanted to pursue, it would be to become an author. And as of late I feel as though it would be the only occupation to make me happy and fulfilled. Although chances are against me and I may not ever be published - I am going to try. And even if I never make it, writing will always be a big part of my life. As a living or hobby.

My most adored book is 'A Clockwork Orange' by Anthony Burgess for a variety of reasons. Whether it be the language style or the controversial issues or ideas explored, I love every aspect of the book.

Don't expect an answer if you ask me if my plots have a definite end. I like ambiguous work with multiple endings. I adore plot twists, strange characters, lots of different styles of writing to suit all themes. I love to write about plots where reality is debatable and outcomes are blurred. If you read my work, you often need to think, it isn't just a one-way drive.

The main genres I dabble in are Horror, Non-Teen Fiction, Drama and Short Stories.

Feel free to have a chat with me if you like. I do R4R and C4C if asked.

From attics, to nightmares. Decay to the possessed. The unexplained, the shadows and everything in between. What are you afraid of?

No one ever thinks that something portrayed so beautifully could end up so destructive. Because no one realises what love does to a person. And you, least of all, didn’t realise how ugly and obsessive you’d become.

@RichardStaschy Nurse could be a decent one. Notebook just reminds me of Black Book though, haha. I'll have to have a think.
I like nightmares but maybe... nurse, noon, notebook, niece, nephew, numb, nude, necromancy or necronomicon... :)
And we finally have an update for 'The A to Z of Horror'. Remember - M is for Madmen!
@StevenClapp No problem. And from the little I've read so far I'm already impressed. x

Hey, thanks for following me. Hopefully I'll impress you. :-)
@RichardStaschy Haha, that's looking at it as a back up plan at least. All I can do is try anyway.

At worst you write 2000 words for your next horror letter :) 

But I doubt that...   :)
@RichardStaschy We'll see, hopefully, haha.

I think you'll do well. 

@RichardStaschy I'm very tempted to have a go this time but I'm also a bit scared of failing so to speak after these few months. My writing's gone a bit bland. I suppose I could use this as an opportunity to get back into the swing of things, though?

I'll keep an eye out on it, anyway. Thanks for letting us know. :)

This really is getting interesting, and in a very short amount of time. Fantastic so far.
