I have ten points to make in this essay with 1500...
See, this is why I don’t like planning. I get annoyed I can’t say everything I have thought of saying. It’s better writing off of the cuff. I don’t understand the people who write like 3000 word essays and then cut them in half. Isn’t it a waste of time?
PLANNED AN ESSAY IN LIKE 5 MINS
Thank you lovely American lecturer. I actually adore you, although I have only been taught by you for a total of two hours.

How on earth are you supposed to find out who you are when everything is in Polish? And when your grandfather has the same name as the Polish Foreign Secretary.

I don’t use real cities for my stories. I create ones that seem real in every aspect but do not actually exist.

I don’t set my stories where I live because quite frankly if you want to go there in your imagination you must have a psychological disfunction...
Perhaps Facebook should invest next in some style...

It’s the best review anyone has ever written about any of my books.
If you want a copy of Time Magazine this week, you should probably go and get it now, because my mom is currently attempting to buy like every copy available on newsstands in America.
So proud of John.
Someone has just posted on Facebook ‘you can take the girl out of wolvo, but you cant take wolvo out the girl,’ I personally would like the ‘wolvo’ surgically removed.
Anyone know of a site that's not twitter or tumblr...

My Treasure
I’m sitting at a computer in the lounge area in the Arts Building of my university, lonely and occasionally writing bits of my short story. This story is about suicide and there is a scene in which I need a biblical quote about suicide and death. After I had researched this I looked for biblical quotes about hope for a contrasting idea. I found ‘Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon...
