About Me

I've recently finished my first novel and am in the process of the publishing mangler. That is to say I'd like to get published but it is very early days.I'm also training as a journalist while trying to gather experience in the field. I'm very unsettled at the moment trying to embrace the transition period that both me and my lover face.I regularly go to the gym and meet my friends, go out in Edinburgh, travel, write and generally try to entertain myself by all means possible. I wish to be heard, and I also wish to try and learn something about myself and everything around me and take in as much of life as I can.It breathes with me, a shadow forever brooding in the darkness, just out of my line of sight. Look quick, it's there and it haunts and it stares and it taunts. Over there.My ghosts are kept inside, my mind tries to fight but really I want to give my all to the energy that's all around me, beautifully, surrounding me like a light I'm like a lamp... hahahah did I mention I'm a bit insane and like to write random things? They come from my head.

My Interests

Writing. Literature. Music. Photography. Art. Cinema. Expressions. People. Living. Exploring every moment. The heart. The world. When I wake up from the most vivid dream that played to me like a movie, and I realise I have to writing it down only it's not really writing, it's like remembering something as normal as your trip to the zoo with Coco the Clown. The fact that I want to see everything, travel and live an immortal life until I die. Unexplainable. I'm not going to 'settle' for anything.

People like myself, and others who are completely different.
