I am currently in 6th form at a mixed school in the UK
I tend to only read historical fiction as I am one of those people who is bored by a story too close to their everyday life- We all need an escape.
I am one of those people who does not read Harry Potter fanfics, I love the books but have never managed to enjoy a Harry Potter fic.
I am one of those people who knows a lot of Shakespeare quotes- and I often use them without realising in conversation. This does not mean I am intelligent- I just have a very good memory.
I am one of those people who finds themselves strangely attracted to Stanley in 'A Streetcar named Desire' (I can't be the only one!)
I tend not to enjoy slush romance stories, i enjoy angst.
I am a cat person, rather than a dog person
I prefer vanilla over chocolate
I like to write because I enjoy it, It is not my life ambition to be a writer.
Philip Pullman, after being asked if he was encouraged to be creative as a child 'No, I was ignored. When anyone took any notice it was to point out what a twit I was, and laugh at me. If you have grown-ups fussing over you and encouraging you and taking an interest, you begin to think you're important, and furthermore that you need and deserve their attention. After a while you become incapable of working without someone else motivating you. You're much better off supplying your own energy, and writing in spite of the fact that no-one's interested, and even learning to put up with other people's contempt and ridicule. What do they know, anyway?'
