Well, yes, fantasy mainly. Dip into horror sometimes and my mum's trying to get me to write something pulpy and chicklit-y as easy money but I end up trying to drop dragons into the story somewhere so it never works out. I have about ten plots evolving at any one time. I also have ADHD...

"pulpy and chicklit'y", thats awesome.
thanks mum!

As if mum wants you write about a dog and cat, raised together, running out to play in the garden and see what kind of cutesy trouble they can find. You, on the other hand, want to drop a 60 foot long fire breather from the clouds and barbeque them where they stand!!!!

I've also been called adhd. Sometimes I wish I could keep my mind on one subject for longer than I seem to be able to.

I did ok at school then signed up to the airforce , didn't do so well in english for some reason , but did really well in everything else lol um I ended up spending 5 Years in the royal Australian air force as a aircraft mech engineer working on the old f-111's i really enjoyed it , but I got out due to Major Depression and thought about doing the uni thing in IT or something , atm just bumming around trying to get my life back into shape and figure out what and where i want to go .

Me, i am just a Uni student majoring in History, Philosophy and Literature.
I worked for a year in China and hope to go back there some day again to teach.- personally i just take every day as it comes and don't try to plan too far ahead. everything normally works out for the best! Smile

( oh, i also like to write too, and like most here have a fantasy novel in the works Razz
