Cheekbones McSticky-outEars is the wizard to His Highness King Arthur, he of the rugged jawline and poncy attitude, and they’re in love.

That’s, um... it.  That’s all I know.

Hey mama Grey, I felt like telling you this at midnight, because why not. My birthday's tomorrow and I'm fairly excited 'cos last year we ended up not doing much and this year I get to hang out with my family and then go see Inside Out. 1/2

Ooh, that sounds so awesome!  Happy birthday, lovely, I hope you have a wonderful day!  <3

Last thing I copied: "Let's pretend, just for a moment, that illness doesn't kill, that death isn't the end of all, and that happy endings always come to good people."

Well, now I’m a little depressed.  ~sniffle~

What got you into writing? Like, for me, actually, it's kind of embarrassing. I wanted money for something-or-other, and so I was trying to think of ways to get money, and my friend suggested I look online. Somehow I ended up on a kid's short story competition page, and so decided to write something for it. I did, and ended up writing a 1500 word little thing. I never did sumbit it, and it's quite cringe-worthy. (Of course I got better and even won a regional level award). What got you writing?

I’ve always wanted to be a writer.  I told myself stories to put myself to sleep at night for as long as I could remember.  I started writing but then something happened that really damaged my self-confidence and I put it away for about fifteen years.

What finally kickstarted me again was my husband.  I got mad at a book that was badly written and declared that “I could do better than that!” and he looked up and said mildly, “So why don’t you?”

It took several more years to get up my self-confidence, but he read everything I put in front of him, he encouraged me endlessly, and even though he’s not much for the gay ships, he’s ridiculously proud of me and loves that I’ve made it as far as I have, and brags about me to everyone.

So... my husband is who you have to thank, mostly.  ;o)
