About Me

I'm Jo, I'm 22 years old, and I live in London, England. I'm an avid reader, and read a whole lot of fantasy, all sub-genres I know of. I have a book blog, Ink and Paper, on which I write fantasy book reviews.

I studied Journalism at uni, finishing in May '09. During my time there, I took optional modules Writing for Children, The Editing Process, Autobiography, Fiction and History, Creative Writing and Place and Writing for Children. Covered in those subjects was writing creatively, and analysing books, which I enjoyed, and took as a bit of a hobby. I wrote a few short stories for those subjects, and, as you do, I let my family read them. I got a lot of praise, especially from my Dad who told me I Should write outside of lessons just for fun, as I'm good at it. So I'm giving it a try.

This is my writing blog. Here I will discuss how things are going, problems I'm having, solutions I got through, etc. I'm a bit of a procrastinator, so I'm using this blog as a way to help motivate me to write, so I have something to post about. I hope you enjoy reading about how I'm getting on. Thanks.

  1. Good luck Jo. Hopefully this blog will keep you motivated. I'm also a procrastinator, and I can lose hours on the internet. I'm sure your writing will be amazing and I look forward to more of your posts.

    From another procrastinator (but also an author - so the two things can go together!)
