Introduce Yourself : A foreigner in foreign lands by Michelle Hickey

I live in London, born and raised in OZ (yes, Oz is over the rainbow) and hold a passport from an Irish Grandfather. I scribble therefore I am. I am compelled towards storytelling, in all its magnificent forms. (It helps as I can't draw or paint to save my life) but I have been known to carry a tune. (Does the shower count? And the odd bar based, clothed appearance for friends who forget to post on face book) Characters plague me day and night but I welcome their chatter (creatively, not schizophrenically) as it adds to the rich world in my head. I plug away at my craft every chance I get as it sustains me through life and pitching and talking about what gave me those great ideas in the first place. I am at the beginning, middle and end. Writing pieces in various stages of production, pitching completed and to come, pieces under review and hoping Santa can fulfil my Christmas wish - the opening of those doors which lead to the roads of writers rooms, collaborative productions, produced credits and a sustained and worthwhile body of work that tantalises and entertains. Kind of the feeling chocolate gives me, but with the sustained high that can only come from living your dreams. Oh, Michelle by the way. Writer if it wasn't obvious. Love and scribble all the genres and mediums (TV/ Film) BUT my flatmate says I find horror too scary to write. Hoping to prove him wrong this Christmas. I'll get back to you on that one.
