  About Amy Hello, I'm Amy, an aspiring motorsports writer and former blogger.  If you dig deeper enough, you find some very old blog posts, as this started as a book blog, but that's really where I got my start in writing: book reviews, hot book topics and as well as the odd personal essay.  After leaving university, I left the book blog behind, but continued writing and going in the world of social media, writing film reviews and promoting queer cinema, but after a tragic event in my personal life, I quickly discovered Motorsports.  What started as a love for Formula 1, while finally watching the Formula 1 film, Rush, and discovering Formula 1 TikTok, this love soon expanded to everything Formula E, IndyCar, Formula 2, Formula 3, as well as F1 Academy.  I soon found the itch to write come back, with the fast-moving news of motorsport, to the drama, the competition, and the journey of drivers trying to find a race seat.

When Life Gets In The Way...

So ever since I've started book blogging I haven't really told the people who read my blog (if their are regular readers of my blog) much about myself, so I thought that I would do that now...

Hi, 

I'm Amy, 

I'm 18 years old and I live in England, 

And,

I have left school and have got into my first choice University which I start in October, 

This means that just sometimes life can get in the way...

           I suppose that this is some weird life update post and an explanation why I haven't uploaded a blog post since Thursday meaning that I missed both a Friday and Sunday post. This is because on Thursday I got the results for me to get into my choice Uni that I have been preparing for this journey and my living room has changed into a University stock pile. This means that I have had limited time to read which also means no time read these and limited time to write blog posts. Over the weekend I also went to Summer In The City (a YouTube convention in London) which again meant a lack of time to write blog posts and yet again life just got in the way.
            The fact is this may be the first life update post of many. Going to university is an unexpected journey and I don't know if I will be able to carry on making them as frequently as I do now although I love really love making them. I am saying this as if Uni starts tomorrow but we have a month of as many blog posts as humanly possible. 

 Live in the now!

 Thank you for reading this and I hope it made some kind of sense. 

 See you Soon, 

 Amy
