Hello, I'm Connor Whiteley, I am an 18-year-old who loves to write creatively, and I wrote my Brownsea trilogy when I was 14 years old after I went to Brownsea Island on a scout camp. At the camp, I started to think about how all the broken tiles and pottery got there and somehow a trilogy got created.Moreover, I love writing fantasy and sci-fi novels because you’re only limited by your imagination.In addition, I'm was an Explorer Scout and I love camping, sailing and other outdoor activities as well as cooking.Furthermore, I do quite a bit of charity work as well. For example: in early 2018 I was a part of a youth panel which was involved in creating a report with research to try and get government funding for organised youth groups and through this panel. I was invited to Prince Charles’ 70th birthday party and how some of us got in the royal photograph.Finally, I am going to university and I hope to get my doctorate in clinical psychology in a few years.

Dear Diary,

I was never normally this hurt, upset and pained by the sheer state of the world, because you very well know I am an excellent person. I normally spend tonight at the soup kitchen talking to the homeless people, I also read to the elderly on weekends and most importantly I support the sweet little kids at that excuse of a school down my road.

I wasn’t a bad person and I really do love life. I am not intense, insane or simply deranged.

I will tell you though and prove it to you that I am none of those awful, hurt things. Since I am currently lying in my nice warm bed, the softness of the cotton-scented fabric covers my body gently and lovingly. The fabric isn’t too warm nor cool, it is just right.
