Hey Ned!

Don't think we've crossed paths before on the forum, but I noticed your Sig and the Mark Lamarr quote is so good! He's brilliant!

Haha, Consider it read and posted the day before yesterday! Hows that for punctuality?

But yeah, I spend a lot of time late at night doing nothing so that would be an ideal gap filler that I will enjoy!

Bung them my way and I will give you some comments etc.

Would you like a sort of Word document with just some general feelings and that jotted down?

Hello!

How is the novel coming on.

If you fancy sending me all you have so I can have a read through (as I have been very crappy and not done as I promised) then send it to

(danieloakshott at gmail.com)

and I will give you some thoughts.

I have started writing a novel of sorts. It's my first attempt ever so I don't expect it to be any good but on the plus side, I have read back through a few times, over the course of about a week and don't hate it yet!

I know what style I want to write it in and stuff so yeah! I am enjoying it so far.

Hope you are well!

Hello, I still have it, but it's at my parents house who I don't see that often as I now live in London. So I have let her know I am going to just buy a new one and post it to her as I can't promise a date that I am going back home. x

Ahh, thats really cool! All of your art is well cool

Yeah, I have been moving house, just moved to London, so I have been off the internet for absolutely ages! It's well nice to be back though

Things in general are pretty good thanks. Just loads of working and University. Along with reading, gaming and socializing of course!

Hello!

How have you been?

I barely recognised you with a new name!

Hope all is well.

Im just about to shoot off but before I do, I recommend applying for a job at Debenhams restaurant in Westfield if you want something for a bit of money, they definitely want people there. No good if your looking for something career-wise though!

I may try and get down to the 'HitchCon' if I can but can't promise anything. Theres far too much going on in London I want to try and get myself down to!

Enjoy your evening and I'm sure we will speak soon

x

Ah, I'd love to have a read of your novel whenever I get a chance!

The move went much better than I could have hoped, despite the letting agents being... well, stereotypical letting agents I guess!

Uni is going really well and I am enjoying the course so far!

Catch up at some point would be great and the flat we managed to get is in shepherds bush so I am really close to the center of London!

And I understand how hell job hunting is, I have a job I despise and am at the point where I feel really down when I know I have to go in so I am probably going to leave this side of the weekend. I spent all day yesterday forcing CV's on people and basically begging for jobs. Hopefully some good will come of it!

Hello!

How have you been? I haven't used the forum in absolutely ages as I've just moved up to London and haven't had the internet.

Hope your well.

yes i do, has it been requested? sorry ive not replied sooner. i havent been on the forums recently, just moved up to london and only just got internet!

Haha! I'm sure I wont need to do that but yeah! Where abouts in London are you?

I am going to TVU in Ealing and yesterday I made an offer on a lovely flat in Ealing

It's going to get me in serious debt but meh.

x

Haha, I do believe your actions are forgivable.

I understand! I went up to London today to find a flat for me and my girlfriend to move into this time next month! Made on offer on one too

But yeah, things are good here.

What about yourself? How's life treating you?

x

Hello!

Hows it going?

Been a while!

x

Thanks! So do you. Yeah, even though I'm 19 and they are for a young audience, I actually can't wait! I bought the first 3 in one go by chance because I was in my local second hand bookstore and I couldn't find anything I really wanted. I liked the look of them, ie: the covers are pretty cool, and they were only 4 quid for the 3 so I bought them and was hooked as soon as I started reading! The boggart in the Spooks house is great!

haha, yeah. I have my TBR list but whenever I am near a book store of WHSmiths etc I always go in and end up seeing something else that I want to read. My actual want to read list is enormous!

I dunno if you did it but there is a thing on here which is a list of 100 books the bbc say most people have only read 6 of. I have only read 10 of them which im ashamed at so I intend to read loads of them aswell!.

Far too many!

Ill let you know what I think and we can have a big fat discussion about them!

It wont be for a while as I am slogging my way through the Potters atm. Doing pretty well with them so far though!

Haha, I'll probably check it out at some point but I wont force myself to read it.

I'm looking forward to reading LOTR. The Hobbit is just going to be like a quick read before to warm me up for Middle Earth!

I have only half read the Hobbit and book one of 6 LOTR books. I loved book 1 but ended up reading something else for college. What is the silmarillion about? the blurb of CoH sounds amazing.

As a LOTR fan, have you read Children of Hurin? I plan to tackle that at some point this year once I have read LOTR and Hobbit. If you have read it can I have an opinion from a like-minded reader?!

Hello and welcome to the forums Im Dan btw

Just saw your top 10 list and I love HP series and Warstone Chronicles series! I think I will take some of your list as a recomendations. Dragon Keeper series, Vampire Academy and Vampirates all sound like books I will enjoy!

Haha, I have one myself so I understand!

When you said 'buttonmashing will begin on Aurora', I thought Aurora was the title of a book you are writing. It all makes sense now. Took me long enough!

Out of interest, what genre is Aurora? I'm intrigued. If its all a secret, just say nothing

Well, I've read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time and loved it, Life of Pi I started and really enjoyed but then ended up forgetting about it under a heap of coursework, Enduring Love was average but a good-ish read when I finally did it, and I absoloutly loved reading On The Road by Jack Kerouac. Thats just a few of the 'non-fantasy' books I've read but I am hoping being on this forum is going to broaden my reading-horizon as its something I love doing.
