The first time i put pen to paper was in 1998, in a classroom when i was eight/nine years of age. Our class had been asked to write a short story about a character going on a journey. I remember setting it in Egypt with golden pyramids and pharoahs with spears. That bit has stayed with me. the rest, however escapes my mind.
English was my favourite subject at school, alongside Art and Drama. Creativity is something that you are born with, it is something that we cannot learn. To some extent i believe it to be true, but being creative doesn't just happen, you have to nurture it.
Although as fond as i was of writing when i was a child it wasn't something i started doing until my teens. I went through phases as i am sure everybody does. But ever since i tapped into my subconcious i have been writing constantly for years.
I have written anything from Horror, (a really, really bad attempt as part of my GCSE English coursework. I thought it was wicked at the time :S) to my current genre Fantasy. It has been a long journey with my army of stationery and items of technology but the battle hasn't and will not end for a very, very long time. And i hope i will be able to intrigue, capture and delight you with my work in the near future.
Only then will all my tireless effort be rewarded.
