I’ve been admiring Gollum’s little nose of late.

Well.

Hello!

Hello potential person on the other side of this vast space void!

Perhaps you exist, perhaps not. Perhaps I have pulled you out of my wizard hat, as one might a rabbit, to amuse whatever higher beings look upon us.

This is my first time on tumblr so have patience as I figure out the blog system – my wizardry has… limited power over technological machinations.

I’m a writer and artist that doesn’t spend much time writing or artisting at the moment. My passion is not however muted by my inactivity! I hope that having this place might allow for a slightly less daunting creative outlet than a blank page.

I have a world that I build through (plans of) short stories, character sketches, place sketches, maps, rudimentary conlangs, and moderately incoherent pinboard maps of ideas.

I like to read books, watch movies, draw little doodles, embroider, and feed walnuts to magpie friends. At the times that I remember the internet exists, I’ll talk about those here!

I’m reading The Return of the King (The third LOTR book), so great battles and walking are on the mind.

My favourite books at the moment:

La Reine Margot (1845), Alexandre Dumas

Tom Jones (1749), Henry Fielding

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell (2004), Susanna Clarke

The Lord of the Rings (series) (1937-1949), J. R. R. Tolkien

Earthsea (series) (1968-1990), Ursula K. Le Guin

And favourite movies:

The Princess Bride (1987)

Howl’s Moving Castle (2004)

Totoro (1988)

The Secret of Kells (2009)

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)

Local Hero (1983)

The Fall (2006)

Twelfth Night (1996)

Laputa: Castle in the Sky (1986)

In short - a lover of period/historical dramas and fantasy
