I love to write. Ever since I was four years old I have wanted to work as a journalist. I use to make typewriters (yes it was in the days before computers lived on our desks) out of cereal boxes, strictly alphabetically ordered as I had no idea what qwerty was or that it existed. I followed my dream and studied journalism in Germany and now write for whoever will publish me (Cheers, Suburbia, Click, Abroad, Backpacker and irsihnewsreview.com).
Film reviews are something I really enjoy as it combines by love for writing and my hobby of a cineast. I so enjoy finding out about things so my topics vary; everything from the quirky clothes-shop around the corner, my love for shoes, my mad hair or some fascinating physiological facts can flow from my fingertips on to the page in front of me.
With a passion for research I love delving into any topic and finding out answers to questions I have never thought of before. Sometimes I am amazed by who is linked to what and why something works the way it does.
Creative writing has also always been a hobby of mine. When I was fourteen I wrote my first book, it was a collection of short stories about a dragon called FiFU for a little girl I baby-sat. From then on I wrote many a fairytale for my own entertainment or as gifts for friends and family. Currently I am working on my first novel, not a fairytale, but a story about friendship and finding who you are and what you really want in life.
Good luck on your first novel. I would love to review it on my blog.
I’ll let you know once someone decides to publish it 🙂
Did you know the QWERTY keyboard was intentionally invented to slow typists? You were creating the original keyboard with your cereal boxes!
I know … but I was a slow typer then and now my six finger system flies around the keyboard at quite a speed .. even if four fingers get to rest .. my thumbs always have a good snooze
It would be great if I could read one day your novel, it will be interesting for me
🙂
thanks … I’d love to get it published
