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:
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.
