Writing Blog Music Running Home
I've always written stories or made them up in my head. The long walk to and from school would become an adventure, as I imagined I was escaping from alien invasion or fatally wounded but had to get the message to HQ!
As a teenager, I invested many long hours producing my own comics and short story magazines. They were terrible sword and sorcery/ superhero pastiches but I produced them faithfully up to issue 75!
Then I became a teacher. My writing became more focused on developing interesting schemes of work or short examples to use as models for pupils. Life became hectic but fun and music and children and running all squeezed my writing time so I did less.
A nasty break in my ankle brought me back to writing for my own pleasure (sanity?). Since then I have extended my writing. Cornerstones Literary Consultants have helped me to develop my work and introduced me to other authors.
Through blogging I have met with published authors, agents and editors.
I would write if I never got published. I would write if nobody read my work. But I would love to see my work between two covers and my name on the spine!
