JAWD was born in Dundee, Scotland. They moved to London at eight, then Bristol at ten. They now live in Toronto, Ontario.
JAWD has been a writer since they were very young, and their only two reasons for writing are:
i. To make a difference in some weird, mixed-up, yet substantial way.
ii. To express themself and exercise their natural power over words.
They are currently working, sporadically, on a poetry series, called 'Realisations [Roman Numeral here]'.

Write about what strikes you, whether it's something completely outlandish and obscene (like an overtly schizophrenic cop who delights in taking joyrides with his buddy, the number he calls Forty-Ninety-Teen-Hundred in his cop car with the siren on full blast) or something fun and light and funny (like a dog whose owner decides to spend the next sixteen days playing fetch with the dog and then the dog ends up being the owner of the owner) or something serious and dark (like about the actors in a silent detective movie from the 1920s who actually do the work of their roles in the dead of night). Write about what strikes you. But one thing that you must never, ever shy away from is research. I cannot stress this enough. If your story has even some teeny tiny bit of a realistic element that you're not so sure about, look it up, and then look it up again somewhere different. The last thing that you need is a reader to come up to you on the street and be like, 'That's not how the school system in Indonesia is. Bastard.' And you feel bad and stop writing for fear of making errors.(less)
