A little more about me...

Hello bloggersphere!

For this month's post, I was unsure what to write about. My upcoming holiday, maybe. Or the pro's and con's of my flatmates. Or even a post on a sport I'm currently involved in. I wasn't sure. But then the decision was made for me when I checked my inbox and saw that - hurrah - someone had messaged me about my blog a while back and I never realised! Which made my day, cos it means that people are actually reading instead of just clicking on it accidentally, which is what I tell myself sometimes.

Anyway, this is what it said:

"Hi lauren. I like your blog! My friend knows you and showed it to me. You write really well its interesting to read. You should talk about your own life some more though they are your best posts. The PR stuff isn't as interesting. Keep it up Joan."

Thanks for your message Joan!

Here's a little background... The PR element of this blog was actually a requirement of my university course, which is what first got me started with blogging. I always used to love writing, and especially enjoyed making up my own short stories, but I had never allowed anyone to read any of my work. So, when this assignment came around I was really nervous about the public seeing my writing style, about being assessed on my voice to the public and written voice.

But after a while I became more and more used to the idea. After the assignment was over, I found myself yearning to keep it up, and so I kept the blog and slowly veered away from the academic side. Nowadays, I have no idea what I'm going to be writing about! It just tends to be something that's on my mind, or a recent event, or whatever really takes my fancy! Talk about random!

So... What more is there to know?

Well, I live and study in Lincoln.

I'm part French, but my blonde hair, pale skin and freckles argue a different story!

My main passion in life is travel. I aspire to explore the world, soaking up the vitality of foreign sights and cultures. My second passion is fiction writing. I just love being able to capture someone’s imagination, to break-down the confines or reality and provide an escape in a whole new fantasy world, simply through the power of words.

In an ideal world, I'd like nothing more than to spend the rest of my days travelling the world, with nothing but a rucksack on my back and a laptop to work on my novel. And in fact, I'm hoping to do exactly that next month! (Fingers crossed)

I'm a lover of all things exciting, facing new challenges and opportunities with a smile in my face and determination in my veins. I feel most at home by the open sea, where the sense of freedom and possibility is so strong you can taste it in the sea breeze.

I like spontaneity, socialising, literature, writing, music, movie nights, Harry Potter, intellectual people, originality, banter, sarcasm, playing ukulele, cooking, doodling, tattoos and much more. Alternatively, I dislike boringness, atrocious spelling, egotistical people, and pigeons (weirdly!)

In general, I try to live my life with every day as a new opportunity. A chance to do something new, discover something amazing, experience something spectacular and meet someone who takes your breath away.

Forget regrets. You only have one life, let's make every day count...

If you STILL want to know more (though I can't imagine why!)

Please feel free to check out my Instagram, Facebook or Twitter.

I think there are links on my blog itself.

I hope this helped, and thanks for your comments. They really help, keep them coming!

Thanks for reading, over and out.
