I write fiction sometimes. All of it is currently only for myself, i.e. private, more out of a lack of coherent material than a fear of rejection. I'm looking forward to when my brain finally puts out stories longer than 900 words; it's a running theme that I write something one night, like it, and then never touch it or look at it again. It's good for catharsis, but not for my long term aspirations of publication (right now I don't even have the dinner parties, just lots of Dominos pizza with my girlfriend). It's fun though, even if I'm not taking it as seriously as I could. I've made the decision to quit my job and do a Creative Writing MA next year to give myself a much needed push.

I also am a 23-year-old English man who loves hip-hop, especially cerebral tracks like Jay Electronica's 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'. It's not THAT strange, especially considering how much Kanye and Jay-z (Kanye Stan here) dominate the pop culture over here in a lot of ways, but I often get confused looks when people see my Spotify.
