And then there was the written word...

Hi. My name is James. I write. I don't sing. I try and make things. 

I used to Engineer stuff, but as unfortunate as it seemed at the time, I became ill with a condition called Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). It has changed my life, but out of it has come a passion for writing. 

I have a huge interest in technology. I don't understand everything but I think its fascinating. I tinker. I experiment. I buy things to try (much to everyone else's chagrin). I now write for Technology website MakeUseOf.

I keep motivated. I gym (SPORTS BRO). I meditate (PEACE BRO). 

Don't be a stranger. Talk to me.

Somehow it has been 5 whole years since I first became ill. A lot has changed. Sometimes for the worse, but in many ways for the better. The first 18 months were dark. I couldn't leave the house. I felt like I lost everything - my job, my friends, my reason for being. Things are brighter now. I wrote about it.

Squeezed in between the two sides of the A3, a major road between central London and Portsmouth, stands Book House. It was the Wandsworth office for the Metropolitan Board of Works (a precursor to the London County Council) until 1889. Almost a century later, it gained the name Book House and became the home of the National Book League. It was renovated into "luxury flats" a few years ago. The developers helpfully put up a plaque deeming Book House the home of Sir Hugh Walpole, and the birthplace of the Booker Prize. Clearly they were confused as it has absolutely no connection to Sir Walpole or the Booker Prize. When questioned, they later said it was their "spiritual home" as they'd placed a portrait of Sir Walpole near the entrance. . .
