I write this website purely because I like to write and want a place to publish it. I don’t think I write well enough to write a book that anyone will publish and I want to see my work public.
So here it is. Public. Whether anyone reads it or not is a different matter.
Isn’t writing a lot of fun? I like to write and I’ve done it for a long time now. And I still love to write as much as when I was young. I remember when I was young and at primary school I wrote so many different stories, I suspect my teacher got pretty bored reading all my stories. And he was amazed that I could write quite so many when I was so young. But I’m not sure that I’m much good at it, I just like it.
I did a university degree when I got older, but it didn’t include writing, (but should have), I wish now it had. If I was young again and going to university again I’d think about doing some real study about the art of writing and learn more. I studied what I needed to to get a job, I just wish I’d studied what I liked to do instead.
I don’t really know if I could ever have become good enough at writing to make a living at it, I just like it. But perhaps I could have tried it. If I had my chances again I’d try it, but you never get it again do you? Sad, though of course I could always go back to University.
Writing is a skill like any other skill. Of course you need to have a the desire to write, if you dont then youre not going to get far because its also work just like anything else, and if you dont enjoy it then you wont get far.
If you really love it then you’ll take the time you need to take to develop it till you’re good at it. It really will take time but I’m sure it can be done. You need to work on it every day but if you love doing it then that’s no problem. Every day is fine.
So I have this website and this is where I’m going to practice my writing. I have it on the internet as it’s a convenient place to have it, but I really don’t intend for lots of people to come along and read it. It’s just about me and what I do every day, so it’s probably pretty boring to others. But if you’re someone reading this then I have at least one other visitor other than me, so thanks for visiting my website.
