An Introduction

By -
Hello! If you have stumbled upon this blog, or rather I've told you it exists, I expect you'd like to know what it's actually about. This blog is to write about my experiences, opinions and maybe even some short fiction that I like to dabble in, hence the title: Stuff Soph Wrote.

I am Sophie, or "Soph" for short, and I'm a recent graduate in Animation from the University of the West of England, Bristol. I really enjoyed my course which I'd been working towards since my teens, but by my third year I found myself hungering for words and stories far more than I did for animation production.

So here I am, still being creative, dabbling in full time work in the world of coffee and in my spare time I will be writing here.

I hope you enjoy your stay!

In my heart I would like to say that I'm a director without the spine, an artist without the skill and a writer without the credits, so I guess that defines me simply as a "creative". Someone who loves to crea...

Quicksies - "Welcome Sparks"

He could tell right away someone had been in his house. The glass splattered the hall way and blood lingered on the door window pane. Crunching the glass with his boots Andy Sparks turned to his light switch; there were no lights either: great. Another step forward. The cottage was small so their wasn't a lot of room to hide and he feared what he would find in the darkness. He turned to look into the galley kitchen and froze as a groan rang out from behind him – pained and muffled from the living room. He turned round slowly and crept to the archway. “Who's there?” he raised his mobile phone like a weapon which had been doubling as a torch. “Show yourself or I'll call the police...” He tailed off as a figure came into view in the half light. He gaped; going ashen as he looked upon her and how her hands seemed to will him towards them. “Andy...” rasped the figure, her voice painful to the ear. “Andy it's me...you have to--” “Shh!” he hushed her as ...
