For some reason a lot of starting out writers can be very shy, about telling others what it is that they do or really want to achieve. For years I was like this, Hiding my writing away like a naughty little secret, until over time I stopped writing altogether, instead spending time on more important things like raising my kids and looking after my house.
Every now and then I would buy a new note book and pen, for a few weeks in the grip of inspiration I would write, until after a while life and its drama would distract me again, for years I wrote like this achieving very little but a pile of unfinished stories and half written plots. My dream of ever being able to call myself a writer seemed very far off indeed.
But writing this today I can say that has happily changed, I have finished my first draft of a paranormal romance, I write successfully for hubpages, where my short stories and poems are being read every day and the successes of some of my online articles has given me the confidence to start this blog that you are reading now.
So how did I go from a stay at home mum with no confidence in her writing, to writing this blog about writing?
