Potential recipe for disaster?
My name's Heather, I can remember seriously sitting to write my first book at age 10 (it didn't get very far), I went to college for programming and switched to 3D Animation before finally graduating with a degree in Interactive Media for Television.
I've been running a blog (admittedly, sporadically) since January 2010 on 3D tutorials, industry stuff, studying, and so on. Had the fortune to meet a ton of interesting people, and even better luck to convince some of them to write on my site. Now that I've graduated I'm going after that with both hands again, while taking the time to follow my heart and build something for the writer in all of us.
I'd love to tell you I've been working with Games or Television companies for a couple of years, or even that I have a book published; But I can't. Yet. Watch this space.
Anyway it's nice to meet all of you! Feel free to check out my projects page (hint hint) or come and say hi on my site, or both.
