Introduction...

At the risk of blogging like a 15 year old girl (which, I should say, I'm not), I'm going to tell you a few things about myself. I am a girl, an Australian, I go to university, I have long brown hair and blue eyes and a fear of public speaking, and someday I want to live in a tree house. When I grow up (let's ignore the fact that I'm technically already an adult) I want to be a novelist. A bestselling novelist would be nice, easier to pay the bills if I'm J.K. Rowling, but I'm just going to stick with novelist for the moment. Keep your expectations low and you can't be disappointed.
For breakfast today I ate half a tub of chocolate chocolate-chip icecream, and a cup of frozen peas. I hope never to have to go outside ever again. If I could live any place in the world, I'd live in the south of France. I have never been to the south of France but it always looks nice in movies. If I could be any kind of writer I would be the crazy reclusive type, the kind who only has one photo of themselves in existence, and that one is kind of blurry. So my place in the south of France won't be conveniently located next to a village full of judgmental Frenchmen, it will be out on some overgrown and unkempt farm property somewhere, and every month or so I will appear in the village looking unwashed and trying to avoid conversations with the staff while replenishing my food stores. I dream big. With this blog, I plan to write witty, insightful, and largely ignored books and occasional film reviews.
So this was your introduction, I hope you found it useful. Lead on to Chapter 1, coming next blog...
