Brief Author Bio:

There's not really a lot one can say about me, so I'll just go for basics: 26, male, British, single, studying for a degree in Psychology and Counselling.

I've been meaning to do this NaNoWriMo thing for years, but only properly started in 2007... in which I only managed to write a few hundred words before the hard drive on my laptop died a permanent death. I was unable to replace said laptop for a week or so and then coursework got in the way. End result, I never got past a thousand words.

2008 - intended to take part, but degree coursework and the death of my grandma dictated otherwise.

2009 - much less work commitments, no more grandparents waiting to shuffle off this mortal coil, hopefully it'll be a different story and I'll be able to get stuff done.

Synopsis:

There's a tower block. There's a guy who's planning to jump off the roof of said tower block. There's some other people. There's a cat. There's flashbacks. It'll probably all sound a bit familiar if you're a fan of Nick Hornby, although I had the idea for the plot before I read 'A Long Way Down', so my biggest challenge here is trying not to blatantly rip it off.
