Age: 26
Height: 5’10
Appearance: Waist length red hair, greenish eyes, tanned from spending too much time outside and wearing glasses. Will be seen, more often than not, riding a dark-bay horse.
Description of Self: Always a very hard thing. I work in animal pharmaceutics though I am a geneticist by profession. I do a lot of driving for work and spend hours on my own which I love. I’d rather be on the road than in the office any day of the week. I did a lot of international travelling a year or two ago but I suspect those days have sadly ended. My first passion is writing and I enjoy a healthy, non-profit career in fan fiction writing. My second passion is horses. I have my own, a Boerperd called Basjan, and give horseback riding lessons as well as tours at a local game reserve.
Hobbies: Reading, Writing, Hiking, Cycling, Riding, Procrastinating, Baking…

Hi Alyss, I’m so sorry you’re feeling so down. I wish I had a solution. If it helps to know that you have peeps over here, including me of course!, who are wishing you the best, sending happy vibes and stuff, well that’s exactly what we’re all doing cuz you’re really someone special! I know things will get better, they have a way of working out. And I really appreciate all the encouragement you give me with my writing. All the best!

I keep forgetting to comment to this, and that in itself should be a crime. Thank you Phil, your words carried me in the darkness. As they still do. It’s very hard to loose faith in yourself if you have friends like you guys.
And all my friends really. You carry me and give me a reason to carry on. And for that, i thank you.
Always.

Didn’t know where else to say this, but I LOVE the wheel of time stories. I still might love the Sword of Truth books better but they are my 1-2 fantasy series to read.

Welcome to my blog!
I love them as well. I never quite got into the Sword of Truth.

Gotta love the “Wheel of Time” series – so sad Robert Jordan couldn’t finish it himself, but Brandon Sanderson is doing a bang up job! Glad you are writing again – everyone needs some time away (forced or procrastinated) to come back with a fresh new take. =)

Wheel of time is a classic, there’s no doubt about it.
