Creative Writing for All 

Hi, my name is Monika, I'm freelance journalist/writer from Lithuania.

*I don’t know how to ride a bike, and don’t intend to learn.

*Sometimes I chew my own hair :S

*I cannot drink hot beverages from a glass cup

*I admire intellectual drug addicts (e.c. Sherlock Holmes)

*Sometimes I believe in my own lies

*I adore my grandmothers quilts

*I love my father and his sense of humor, his crazy stories…

*Sometimes I am unable to remember whether something has really happened or I have only dreamt it

*I do not like Ladybirds and Dragonflies, they freak me out…

*I talk to myself… 

*I like to poor shot’s in Coca-Cola cap…

*I still believe I have magical powers (I’m victim of Harry Potter books (but hey, I was only 9 when they came out))

*Deep down inside me I still believe in Santa Claus…

*Sometimes I cannot understand myself…

*I like the smell of plaster

So that's all about me... well, maybe not yet....

I try to find inspiration in every step of my life. Music and silence help the most.

I have lived in London for few years and took creative writing course there.

 I loved England... people, culture, their pubs :). It's lovely there. Irelands and Wales landcapes inspired me as well. Those countries really are beautiful, stunning, inspiring, breathtaking... and cosy.

I love to paint as well, and sometimes I even seek for inspiration to write in my paintings.

Love watching movies and maybe one day I'll write a movie myself.

Love cats and puzzles, reading books and summertime, tea and chocolate cheescake, sleeping and dreaming, Hans Zimmer and U2, Tim Burton and Colin Firth...  Sherlock Holmes and Shakespeare....

I enjoy learning new things, that's what inspires my. Learning about new cultures, someone's life story, new recipe, playing an instrument, etc... and doing something for a very first time...

I  LIVE IN  DEVON WITH MY TWO DOGS AND A CAT. MY LIFE HAS NEVER BEEN

BORING.AS A YOUNG MAN I TRAVELLED THE WORLD VIA THE MERCHANT NAVY.

I LOVE WRITING ,WATER PAINTING AND GARDENING.LAST YEAR  I SUFFERED

A SERIOUS BRAIN INJURY WHICH HAS LEFT ME UNABLE TO WALK WITHOUT A

STICK.BUT IT WILL NOT DEFEAT ME AND TO PROVE THAT POINT I AM AGAIN

WRITING. I  BELIEVE THAT HUMOUR AND LOVE IS THE KEY TO LIFE.

Semi-retired, I've been writing, with some small successes for 20 years. I intend to continue.
