I don't come on lj that much anymore. Purely for the reasons that my life has taken over completely and I've fallen head over heels in love with my webcomic project Heartstone Odyssey. So instead of batting out fanfictions as I did do a couple of years ago I now bat out page after page of comic book scripts/film scripts/my own original short stories.

I can't remember when I last posted on here and for those of you who I did chat with here's what's been going on in my life:

- I finished my BTEC in Media (TV and Film) with triple distinctions! :D *tis really over the moon about that still*

- Am still writing away at my webcomic and will be for a while.

- Have decided to write a novel, but has no idea how to go about it yet or whether I have the skills just yet!

- Has gotten onto my first choice course at university and is going to start BA Hons Professional Writing after 13th of september (that's freshers week! :P) and then will be writing even more, but for a degree this time rather than just my own amusment. :D

I'm very excited. Of course I'm nervous too, but today I'm more excited than nervous (subject to change course). :)

College is officially finished. Which seems very surreal at times as it became such a normal part of my life over the last two years. But it's great being able to do whatever I fancy without having to worry about work that needs to be finished! I got triple distinctions (which for those of you who don't know what it means it's like getting 3 As!) so I am of course absolutely over the moon about it. :)

It doesn't seem like to me sometimes to have done so well!

I'm happily writing away on anything and everything that springs into my mind, and constantly working on my webcomic Heartstone Odyssey and just getting ready to go to university in september to study Professional Writing (which means I'll be writing away at stories, scripts for film/tv, graphic novel scripts and anything else fictional really!)

And I'm really looking forward to it. :)

I just randomly decided to update this little page of mine. :) I haven't done it in quite a while!

Well, after seeing How to Train Your Dragon twice. I've become a little bit obsessed! So much so, I wound up writing this.

It's a bit of an experiment as I need to start using more of the "six senses" that you can use in writing. Course, being stubborn and self doubting I don't think I can do it very well. So I hope I've managed it here, not nessisarily all of the six senses, just by being more descriptive.

I do worry a bit sometimes. It's not very handy either!

( Dragon Story! )

I'm leaving college soon. I don't know how many days or weeks, but I know that it's soon. and I'm happy knowing that rather than "I've got so and so weeks left!". The thing is, when I first started writing on lj however long ago it was I honestly hadn't thought that I'd grow so close to the people there.

Kathryn and I were travelling on the tram to go and see another film (well specifically How To Train Your Dragon in 3D! which is brilliant! Really recommend it!) and having a good ol’ chat about all of this. And yet somewhere along the way I came out of my shell and wound up feeling a lot, lot, better about it all.

It’s a natural progression of life I suppose. It’ll just be sad to say goodbye to everyone…who I’ll hopefully keep in contact with!

The other thing that hit me, is that Heartstones wouldn’t even have been created had I not chosen to go to college. I wouldn’t have met Kathryn, I certainly wouldn’t have gotten into graphic novels and I wouldn’t be where I am at this moment in time.

So yes, thankyou Kathryn! We wouldn’t have sat during how to train your dragon the other day and be squeeing together, nor would we have entered MOFILM or posted weird questions about people getting shot on yahoo answers.

I love where I am now and the people around me. 

So, looking back to two years ago, just before I started in the world of blogging and film making, would I see myself sitting here (granted I'm in the middle of college :P but I have just finished a report!) now, having done all of this?

No, I don't think I did.

Do I regret any of it?

Never. :)

Helloooo! :D

After making the Ten2rose one last year, I decided that I needed to have one that was more about my writing than Doctor Who. So, if you're interested in seeing some of my works then click on the link below! :)

I know Deviant Art isn't the obvious place for a writer, but I need to start somewhere don't I? Especially as I'm going to uni in september to do even more writing! :D

I suspect there could be a new story every month! :)
