Sick to the back teeth with Facebook et al, I've been prowling the internet looking for a community that's all about meaningful content and this seems to fit the bill. I'm hoping to develop my writing, help others develop theirs and make some friends. I'm 36, based in the North of the UK, where I live with my wife and cat. I teach costume design for a living and play the ukulele for fun. On my favourite Authors list are Neil Gaiman, Robin Hobb, Terry Pratchett and Joanne Harris. And I like cake. And gin. And dancing.
