Thank you to T.K.R, who was the first person to say, "You can do this" to me and then helped me to learn how.

I first began writing seriously in 2006 while taking a course for young would-be writers. Before that I had a lot of ideas, but no knowledge of what to do with them other than to store them all in my head. I only really wrote when it was for a school assignment – but even then I was the girl who ten pages instead of two. Now I take that as a sign that I had so much to say that when given an outlet, I took thorough advantage of it.

However, the writing course really inspired me to realise that I could pick up the pen of my own accord and play around with what came out of it. Very quickly, I learnt to love doing that and when most other things in life failed to interest me, writing pulled me in further.

I mostly wrote original prose and some poetry for around a year and then got into fan fiction. It wasn’t a huge discovery. I had begun to really appreciate music and then I stumbled across a piece. “This is…interesting,” I remember thinking.

Is it a surprise that my early attempts were abominable? Now though, I’ve grown up a lot and in shows in my writing. Since I still have a lot of growing still to do, I’m hoping that this means my writing will continue to improve.
