Plain and simple, I love writing...it's almost like a drug I'm addicted to. To me there's nothing better than getting drawn into creating a story and staying wrapped up in it for two or three or even four hours at a time. I adore being wrapped up in creating the next scenes for my characters, making exits and entrances from the building blocks of words and images, unlocking the box of my imagination and letting the blank white page drown in a sea of black type.

Most of the stories I write are original fiction, but I've been writing fan fiction on and off for about a year. At the moment I'm working on a Back To The Future fan fic (hence my username) and a reworking of an Indiana Jones fic I started a while back. Hope you like them!

A bit about me: I'm 16 years old and I live in north-west England. I've got short brown hair and blue-grey eyes, and I wear glasses. My hobbies (apart from writing) are tae kwon do, swimming, playing guitar, watching movies, listening to indie and rock music, and hanging out with friends. I speak English, French and German, and my ambition is to become a novelist or publisher.

Favourite music: Athlete, Idlewild, Kings of Leon, Feeder, The Darkness, Michelle Branch, BRMC, Radiohead, No Doubt, RHCP, The Strokes, REM
