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.

This year's @tate Winter Commission is... Slugs. . . The installation, by Monster Chetwynd, includes two Leopard slugs, which glow blue at night. Chetwynd wanted to explore alternative energy sources as naturally light emitting organisms may one day power street lighting. . . #tate #art #winter #wintercommission #tatebritain #slugs #nature #energy #artinstallation #london #christmas #festive
Happy 1st birthday to @drawnpoorlyzine! . . Chronic illness changes everything, not least of all your capacity to socialise. . . Whether you're too ill, too tired, or scared of how you'll manage while out, it's so common to need to change or cancel plans. . . Fortunately, I have some very understanding friends, who get that I may not always be there - but they don't forget me. I'll always be immensely grateful for that. . . #toopoorlytoparty #chronicillness #drawnpoorlyzine #pots #chronicfatigue #illness #social #party

Very grateful to have been featured in Issue Three of @drawnpoorlyzine alongside some incredible contributors. . When I first became ill I'd never have imagined that I'd feel comfortable writing about the often overwhelming and complicated emotions that come with a diagnosis (or lack of one). But here we are. . Although I write for a living, this is also the first time any of my work has appeared in print. My contribution is very personal to me, but I hope it resonates with others too. . . #writing #personal #chronicillness #drawnpoorlyzine #dysautonomia #pots #posturalorthostatictachycardiasyndrome #diagnosis #health #medical
