The room is messy, a mixture of books and art materials line the bookcase. The computer desk is worse, aside from the computer there are notepads, sketch books full of concept art, novels and a copy of Hamlet. Josh sits in front of the computer screen bathed in the pale light. His long brown hair is tied back loosely and the ponytail falls down his back he looks on at the computer seemingly puzzled, he hasn’t moved for a bit, eventually he tilts his head to one side, he’s been reading some of his work and now seems unsatisfied. With a slight frown he flicks the mouse over his work highlighting at least an entire page and he quickly hits the delete button, with a resigned look he starts typing again, eyes focused on the keyboard.
One eyebrow raised and chewing his bottom lip he focuses on his work. Eventually he stops and cracks his knuckles and sighs. He hits the save button and closes the window before opening up firefox. He clicks his favourites and opens a variety of different websites ranging from games to forums. No longer writing he slouches a little in his chair and reaches forwards to grab the copy of Hamlet, he thumbs through the pages a bit shakes his head
“it’s no good, I’ll never cut this down alone” he thinks before discarding the book once more and reaching for a bar of chocolate instead.
