When I was really little, all I really wanted to do was write. I spent a long time convincing various adults around me that I was going to write a book, a fabulous book. Eventually, I realised I better start writing, if I wanted to ever finish this fabulous book. So I started. I was ten years old, and had no idea what I was in for. Ten years later, I signed my first publishing contract after a long struggle through my teens, attempting to grab the attention of various literary agents and rewriting draft after draft. If I had known what it was like, would I have done it?

 I think so. There is, quite simply, nothing like writing your own story. My belief is that life is hard enough without working a job you don't like. If you think it's impossible, try surprising yourself. If it sounds too ridiculous, do it anyway. Even in jobs you love, you will have moments you hate. So you may as well attempt to do what you enjoy, rather than make yourself truly miserable. That's why I created this site.

 Now is your time to speak; now is the time for your voice to be heard. Get writing.
