To be noticed.
A Blog is a "web log" - a diary. I definitely don't think anyone would want to read my actual diary - to be fair, it scares me sometimes too - but as a forum for the sharing of ideas and opinions there is nothing better.
I'd better start with an explanation of myself. I'm an eighteen year-old English student living in Wales. I study English Literature and German and I'm loving University.
I like to read and write - anything at all really, but Science Fiction and Fantasy are my passion. I'm writing a series of six fantasy novels at the moment - if anyone decides to read this blog then they'll get a few snippets - and I have a few other projects waiting in the wings.
I love to cook and bake, so from time to time there may be recipes and pictures of my various culinary triumphs and disasters.
I'm also a bit of a geek or nerd. I love programmes like Doctor Who, Game of Thrones and Arrow, and I'm eagerly awaiting the third installment in the Dragon Age game series, Inquistion. I can't say this without sounding like I have an over-inflated ego, but I have a truly remarkable brain. My nickname throughout school was Dictionary, and my college English teacher called me his walking Encyclopaedia (his actual words were "Wikipedia," but I object to that one on principle).
Also, as a newly out gay man, there may be, from time to time, accounts of coming out, advice for those who haven't and support for anyone who needs it.
I can't believe how terrible this sounds, nor that I actually decided to do this with no pressure from anyone else.
Any way, signing off for now,
