Hovering text is so awesome.



I suppose an introduction is called for. My name is Andrew Heaton. I am 20-blar years old and am a poor and hapless freelance writer.

Having graduated from Wolverhampton university (oo la laa!) with BA (hons) in Creative & Professional Writing I'd have been a little naive to assume I'd be beating off highly-esteemed, well-established and possibly rich publishers, editors, agents and scantily-clad women with my rolled up degree certificate.

Having said that: give a guy a break!
