Literary Profile

Considering my memory is significantly bad, I do not remember the first time I started reading, or if I was ever read to as a child, however I'm almost sure I was. All I know is that I've always liked to read. That's just always been something I've said when asked what I enjoy doing. I suppose the first huge thing I ever remember reading was a teenage series that consisted of about ten to fifteen books. Currently I'm reading Jane Eyre because I read a book about Charlotte Bronte and loved her story. So far it's good.

I do not do much academic reading. I read more novels then anything else, but I try to make myself read a biography every now and again. I usually end up liking the biography after I finish it, but sometimes they just seem so dry.

Anyway, literature for me has always been about reading and never about writing. Putting words on a page, or even online like now is a bit painful for me. I never know exactly what to say or how to word it. This is especially the case if I am having to come up with something from nothing. Then I could sit for hours just staring at a blank screen.

So last but not least, this is me, with my beautiful niece, Annalyse. She's practically attached to my hip when I'm home for the summer, and I love her to death.
