I am Green Raven, I'm 26, female, and ready to make the most of my life - I want to explore every opportunity life has to offer me!  There are two main goals I want to work on, my art and my writing. 

I'm a pencil and coloured pencil artist, I want to improve my skill and one day get my art published.  i'd love to do comic book covers, calendars, and one day a gallery exhibition of my art. 

With writing, I want to get into the habit of writing regularly and actually finishing what I start.  I want to write fanfiction, short stories, a novel, comic book scripts, and even movie and TV scripts.  But I have to learn to finish each writing project that I start! 

I am also interested in Paganism, I consider myself an eclectic Pagan, as I learn more about my path and incorporate it more and more in my life.  Learning Meditation, Tarot Card Reading, Magical Correspondences, Candle Magick and celebrating the Sabbats and Moon phases.

I am currently really enjoying my journey through life, and I have TOOLS to thank for this, as well as all the wonderful people in this community - Thank you so much for your support.

And if you're somebody reading my profile, who doesn't know me, just remember...

We're not strangers, just friends who haven't met yet!

From leaving school I chose to do A Levels, more because I didn't know what to do, and it seemed like a good idea to buy me some time.  I dropped out of A Levels when it seemed rather university orientated, and that wasn't where I wanted to head.  So I chose to do an NVQ in Business Admin, there were plenty of jobs going for that at the time, and I didn't know what else to do.

I worked in admin for about 2 years, when I started suffering with depression, related to my work.  I suffered with depression for about a year and a half.  I like to think I'm over that now, I haven't been on antidepressants for 5 years now.  Sure I still have down days, but everyone has those.

After being signed off sick (with the depression) for nearly 2 years, I got a job in Telesales.  Something I'm really not cut out for.  Realising I couldn't sell anything, not pushy enough, but making lots of calls, and getting RSI in my dialling wrist in the process, they decided they had to let me go, as I wasn't making enough money.

I got a job in a large company call centre, stayed there for a year and a half, when I split up with my boyfriend I'd been dating and working with for the last 6 months there, I realised I couldn't continue working with him, it got too painful.

So I left there to go temping, been temping for the last 2 years, now I'm out of work, hoping some more temping will come along, or something, as there doesn't seem a lot of work out there, temporary or permanent.  With the country appearing to be going into recession, few jobs, cost of food rising, and my credit card debt showing no sign of decreasing, I could really do with some help and encouragement in getting my life back on track.  Instead of being dragged along by life, I'd rather find a direction I want to go in, and head after it!

I have this crazy ambition to work in the media, more specifically work on making movies, I'd love to one day work on the set of a movie and/or TV Series.  Wouldn't it be cool if I could actually do that?

I love writing fiction, I had my first taste of scriptwriting in www.Scriptfrenzy.org April 2008, and I liked it.  I was writing a script for a graphic novel, and I think next year I'll try a movie otr television script.

I also love my art, I'd love to do comic book covers, and my own fantasy art one day.
