***Health warning: I’ve not updated any of these stories in a year or more (I’m getting around to it, honest) and all are in a deplorable, by which I mean cringe worthy,  state. I advise against reading but if you are so inclined, please bare this in mind. **

Hi, I’m Anna: a self confessed writing addict with delusions of literary grandure. By this I mean that I adore writing, get depressed when I’m not writing and would love to have a future based on writing but that I also realise that I’m really not that great at it. Still, that has never and will never stop me from doing what I love. Neil Gaiman introduced me to the theory that a novel is best described as ‘a long piece of pros with something wrong with it’ and I wholeheartedly agree with it.
I’m blind and have a knee replacement due to cancer but you won’t find this forming the basis for my writing (well, not in so many words anyway). I disagree strongly with the idea of writing what you know; I write to find out what I know. I’m often surprised how many times my characters seem to make decisions for themselves but I have to say, its nice to have the pressure taken off me for a bit when they do.
Anyway, right now on this account are the scribblings (or tappings as I type everything I write) of a younger writer than I am now. I’m not condemning them but I really wouldn’t encourage reading them either, not until I’ve had a tidy up first. Needless to say, my style and interests have moved on somewhat since I last uploaded.
If you were interested enough to read all that then you’re more patient than I am but thank you and hopefully I’ll get to those updates sometime this decade.

GO and catch a falling star, Get with child a mandrake root, Tell me where all past years are, Or who cleft the devil's foot, Teach me to hear mermaids singing, Or to keep off envy's stinging, And find What wind Serves to advance an honest mind.-John Donne, Song
