Tomu86 (Tom Mejias)

Hi, I'm Tom. Half Spanish. Half English.

Things I Love:

• Fiction - I love taking an image in my head, and trying to describe it. I tend to prefer writing short, descriptive pieces. I tend to have trouble keeping pace with extended writing. I hope to work on this.
• Poetry - I really enjoy reading poetry written by others, but rarely delve into it myself. As I don't know the rules and etiquette behind poetry, I tend to watch from the sidelines, and add my formulaic poems when I can.
• Music - I love practically all music. I play acoustic guitar and sometimes dabble in mediocre song writing.
• Animations - I enjoy making stop motion animations with things like blu-tack and other objects. They tend to be rather bizarre and rarely make sense!
• Games - As a games programmer by trade, I love designing, making and playing computer games.
• Creativity - Any way of making something that brings joy or intrigue to another.
• Languages - I speak fluent Spanish and fluent English and I am currently learning French.
• Imagery - I feel vivid imagery is the most important part of language. I love trying to fit personification and metaphors into my writing to craft an image in the mind of the reader.

Favourite Book:

• Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy: Trilogy in Five Parts - Douglas Adams

Favourite Movie:

• Memento

Education and Work:

• I graduated from the University of Huddersfield in 2008 with a 2:1 in Computer Games Programming.
• I now work for Team 17 as a Games Programmer.

I hope you enjoy reading what I have to give. Gimme a shout if you wanna ask anything.

Tom.
