IntroDUCKtion

See, isn't that duck so very surprising?

Well, anyway, I thought that we, the admins of this site/blog/thing, should introduce ourselves, so here we are.

My name is Beth. I am a seventeen-year-old sixth form student and a part-time waitress who lives in England. I am studying biology, English language and German, and am applying to go to university to study linguistics or linguistics with German next year.
My lifelong dream is and always has been to be a published writer. Technically, I have already acheived that dream; a short story of mine was published in the Red House Young Writers' Year Book 2012. But I'd preferably like a full novel of mine to be published one day - at least one, anyway.
I am a member of National Novel Writing Month, meaning that this very November, I am attempting to write a novel in a month. It's rather fun. I attend my school's creative writing club, which is very crazy, and hope that from Creative Writing Club I can gain ideas for writing prompts etc which I can then post on here for you lovely people, whoever you may be.
My favourite things are sleep, food, grammar, books and music. Mostly I enjoy symphonic metal music (Nightwish, Within Temptation, Evanescence), but I do have a soft spot for country and folk (The Band Perry, Lady Antebellum, Frank Turner). My favourite writer is American fantasy writer Kristin Cashore and I sincerely hope to meet her someday. :)

So that's enough about me, but if you don't think that's enough about me, then there's more about me on my blog, which I am posting a link to here. :) As dear beloved Tigger would say: TTFN, ta ta for now!
