So this is it. This is my chance to get things out of my brain and ultimately, infecting yours instead. You're welcome. I do not have a genre. I write what comes to mind. Sometimes I journal. Sometimes I create short stories. My short stories might be created for a young audience or a mature audience. It just depends on my mood. I also will write in first-person viewpoint and third person. So you can’t really take me too seriously. It could be a total work of fiction even though I am using “I” and “me”.

An Honest Cover Letter
Any one of you that have been in the throes of a job interview will probably have had to fabricate quite a few white lies in your time. "Why did you apply for this job?" The answer is most likely money. "Why do you think you'd be good for this job?" Well, you're an extra pair of hands? And do you really need to see my GCSE results to determine whether or not I can stack a shelf or scribble the phrase "X4 Diet Cokes" on a paper pad?
