Tagged by to post ten facts about myself.

Damn, now I have to think...

1. I want to have more than one paltry book published, but I'm afraid of rejection...

2. I am a writer, not a photographer.

3. I want to get a chance to read and paint.

4. My ideal is countryside and moderate solitude.

5. My favourite colours are purple and blue.

6. I spent two weeks at Oxford University, before giving it up as a bad job, and going home. (Intense academic pressure, untreated seasonal affective disorder and a nigh on crippling fear of new situations don't mix well. When razor blades start getting attractive it's time to leave...)

7. I can't touch photos of insects, but I don't mind the real things.

8. I can't work out whether or not I want to do a PhD, or whether just getting published will satisfy my desire for achievement.

9. I feel guilty if I don't upload enough photos on here, but I also feel guilty if I upload bad pictures. And about uploading lots of Star Trek when I've got watchers watching me for photos. And guilty about writing 'real' things when people are waiting for Star Trek. And guilty about writing Star Trek when I should be writing real things. And guilty about online disputes, and having to take sides, and just - everything, really...

10. I can't shake-off the Spock-love, so I'm going to keep uploading Star Trek anyway...

THE END


And I watched the end of Hamlet on BBC4 last night, with David Tennant and Patrick Stewart, and it made me sob, dear god... But I'm hoping it had the effect of removing some kind of emotional blockage, because I'm actually managing to WRITE stuff again - and stuff that isn't Star Trek too. One day I might have a sequel for Angelwings...
