Just a quick post to say I have been accepted to the University of Manchester to study Linguistics (yay!). As a result of this, my life is a whirlwind of proper adult stuff that I have never done before, like choosing bank accounts and buying pans.
I am still writing, but not to a level I am willing to actually show people, and so I probably won’t be posting on this blog as much as I said I would for the time being. Sorry.
Ok, so a quick introduction first. I originally wrote this short story for my English language AS level. It was the first time I had written something properly, and enjoyed it, since junior school. That’s why I thought it was fitting to make it my first real post.
The Jewel Thief
I found it hidden away in the attic, though it must have been an eternity older than the attic itself. The moment I found it is forever burnt on my memory, not even slightly dulled by the thousands of boisterous moments that followed after. It was a little before my tenth Christmas, and a year since my parents had walked into this house with all their possessions, slamming the door shut behind them. The attic came with the house. Our new home. When we arrived there the smell of newness still clung in the air. They tried to cover it over with layers upon layers of smells, but I can still remember how the it stuck in the back of my throat.
Hi everyone, welcome to my blog!
So this is me, Katie. I’m 18, and I come from England. I’ve just finished college, and am hoping to go to university next year. I love reading, writing and spending time with my friends and family.
I started this blog to try and bring more structure to how much, and how often I write. I love it, don’t get me wrong, but I’m way too much of a perfectionist to ever finish anything to a standard I am happy with. I’m hoping this blog will help with that.
If there is anything else you would like to know, just ask!
