Welcome to my blog!

Introduction

Hey everyone and welcome to my blog :) I'll start by telling you that I honestly have no idea what I'm doing and I'm already confused by this website. I really needed to try something new and since I've been wanting to start a blog for a while I thought that now would be the perfect time. I don't really have a set theme in mind for my blog but that might develop over time, we'll see. For now it'll probably feature shenanigans from my life that may or may not interest you. At the moment I don't have any set days for posting, I'm just going to write when I feel like it or when I have something to share (if it's appropriate) with everyone.

I've always loved writing, it's one of very few things that I've always had the natural ability to do and thoroughly enjoy at the same time. Some of you may be here from my tumblr and if so you'll probably have noticed that for the past year or so I've been spending unhealthy amounts of time on there. I've realised that there will never be an easy way to pry me away from a computer screen and I'm not ready to kick the habit just yet. I'm more for broadening my horizon's on the internet by trying my hand at a different kind of blogging rather than just reblogging other people's photos on a website that serves no fulfilling purpose for me any more. It's turned into a nasty habit and an addiction, one I don't wish to have for much longer.

About Me

So now you know why I'm starting this blog I think I should probably tell you some more about myself...

My name's Amy and I'm from Manchester in England. Wow, I feel like I'm writing an ad for the dating section in a newspaper. As I mentioned previously I love writing and I wish to somehow eventually make a career out of it. I can remember writing stories as a small child and drawing pictures to go with them; I had an extremely vivid imagination, some of which I'm sad to say I lost upon starting secondary school. However, before the summer I started writing a novel. I've taken a complete break from writing over the summer; for weeks I haven't written in my journal, I haven't written any poetry and like I said, I've taken a break from writing my novel. Once I get into the routine of college I'm sure I'll be back to writing everyday, yay!

Fashion has always been something I've been extremely interested in and I think my grandma has a part to play in that. As a child I would dress up in her colourful heels, scarves and jewellery and so from an early age I've felt that fashion is one of the best ways for me to express myself without me having to really say anything. Up until a few years ago I would sit and draw up my own design's for clothes, shoes and bags. Admittedly they were appalling but I've definitely learnt from the many disasters. As well as being a writer I would absolutely love to have my own boutique or fashion company. Designing my own pieces and then actually have people buy them would probably be one of the greatest things to ever happen to me. If people bought my books and clothes I would definitely be able to say that I made it in life!

My music taste for some people has proved a little odd but the bands I listen to keep me somewhat sane and for that I am eternally grateful. My music taste varies mainly from indie rock to metal along with other bands in between. My favourite band to grace the Earth is Green Day, not only do they make great music they're also great people. Other bands that I listen to regularly are You Me At Six, All Time Low, My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Bring Me The Horizon, Biffy Clyro The Courteeners, Fall Out Boy, Sleeping With Sirens, Pierce The Veil and The 1975. I also worship Avril Lavigne.

However, before I had even learnt how to write, discovered my love for fashion or began to appreciate the way that song lyrics fit with a guitar riff and a drum beat I fell in love with horses. At the age of three I rode a Shetland Pony that belonged to my grandma's friend for the first time. At the time I never realised just how special and important horses would be in my life all these years later. Horse riding is honestly second nature to me now and if I were to stop then a part of me would be missing.

And that's all there is to me really - writing, fashion, music and horses. I hope you enjoy my blog :)
