Reading, writing, history

I have written short stories and poetry on and off since I left school, which is a little strange since I didn't do well at school. I left with few qualifications and little academic experience, but I love the power of words as they have the ability to call up emotions and make you think.

I like writing stories about people who do bizarre things without necessarily explaining why they do them. I also like nonsense poetry,the kind that is just one word or phrase after another without their being a logical link from one part to the next.

I am a carer for my wife who is in a wheel chair. She enjoys writing as well, and has just had her first novel published.

I like sci fi and good drama.

My wife and I have just done our first Nanowrimo challenge. We both completed the challenge and are now polishing what we've ended up with. I did a sci fi novel version of 'Enigmata', which I tried to write for fanstory. Even though it was Nanowrimo that got me to finish the first draft, I would still credit fanstory for the ongoing encouragement I get through the site.
