I like to think I write because I have beauty hidden in me, somewhere. But the truth of the matter is that I'm addicted to it, like nerdy cocaine. I study Mathematics and Computer Science, so thought I better write fantasy, just to complete that stereotype too.

They call it the Dawnlight because that's as far as it ever gets. The sun rises in the early morning, with its thin, tentative light, and for the rest of the day there is nothing more. Nothing. Nothing but rain and grey and dead dragon bones. Bare rock and bodies. It's dark and wet and empty. It's fog and sickness and death.

Lots of people have a 'my aims' section on their profile. My only aim was to get 'Promise the Sky' into the top ten of a genre so I'd be able to see it on the old homepage. It did (Adventure) but I was on holiday so I missed it. That's how my luck works. So now I just want to make it onto the Watty Awards Shortlist this year instead because the homepage has changed and I had to get a new aim. Maybe next year I'll go for Rowling-esque exposure, riches, and world domination.

"I am your guardian angel." I considered her words for a moment as she stared forlornly at my cooling corpse. It had stopped bleeding. Too little too late, I thought bitterly.

@KristiHowe Hi there :) Firstly, wow - I'm glad you enjoyed, especially enough to send a message. And in answer to your question, I'm not necessarily not working on Silence Falls, I'm just working on it very very very ver..... slowly :( the reason being that I've moved to Germany for the year and I've been finding it difficult to switch between the different languages. I actually had to edit this message just for it to make sense :P 

On the other hand, your message has certainly put me in the writing mood..... hmmmm ;)

@SamanthaJR Now I'm torn o_o you reading my story is awesome but you writing the next chapter is also awesome! xD 

I'd be lying if I said I'm not happy that your reading it, though. Really hope you'll enjoy it, eheh. If you don't want to comment, please don't feel pressured to, I really don't mind ;) just knowing you're reading is epic enough, uhuh :D *

@dizzy_panda Haha that's so cool! I didn't even realise it was the work of a fan - kinda makes me feel an iddy bit famous :D Do you want to hear something ironic? I thought I was going to finish the next chapter today but I got distracted by YOUR story (I just voted, I'm reading it RIGHT NOW). It should be done soon anyway. I was suffering from hideous writers block but I finished the plan two days ago, so now all I have to do is write it. And that's the easy bit ;) Anyways, bored of writing this when I could be reading your brilliantly titled 'A cure for the blind'. I'm usually too lazy to comment but I'll kick my arse into gear. x

Helloo! :)

Just wanted to thank you for adding my book to your reading list :D I really hope you enjoy it, eheh. It's awesome to me that you'd even consider reading it, since I'm such a fangirl for you xD I LOVE your writing and I think you have SO much talent!

By the way, I should probably take this opportunity to fangirl some more, and let you know that I'm facing horrible, horrible withdrawal Dx I'm waiting for Silence Falls so anxiously! Please, do hurry your brilliance as much as you can, eheh ;) *
