Bella De La Rocher

Hello, world-wide-web.  Who is Bella De La Rocher?  I am!  Pleased to "meet" you (it's a funny experience, this, but one I'm comfortable with, so you should be too.  Please do whatever you usually do to relax as you read this "intro".)  (Because as a writer, I want my words to sooth you.  I might not always go for that effect, but I am now.  I won't spring any suprises on you, nothing like that, just going to tell you a bit about myself, likes and dislikes, that sort of thing.)  (Oh, and why I'm here, why you are, not in a theological sense though - but that's not to say we can't discuss any of the bigger issues at some stage - I just don't think it's appropriate for an intro - sorry but that's just the way it is.)

I like (maybe I should write this in third person to make it sound like I've got an agent or a manager writing on my behalf... "Bella's favourite colour is pinky grey..." or I could write it as if it's been written by my PA, like a young up-start who idolises me and wants to learn all she can from me, always following me with a notepad and pen, hanging on my every word, stammering a lot, shaking with nerves...  No, I've got all that to come when I hit the big time.  I need to keep my feet on the ground for the time being, I want to be one of those 'salt-of-the-earth' writers, rustic and moody, being interviewed by the Scottish woman on Newsnight Review and staring her out inbetween questions.)

I'll come back to this intro.  I can't seem to concentrate.
