Hi I've had questions from people about my age and they think that I am too young to write. Do you agree?

Hi Tejinder

Stratford-upon-Avon have a Literary Festival on now and today at 6pm they have a talk with 2 Scandinavian authors. One of them is Lene Kaaberbol who published 2 novels when she was 15.

It's only £8 and you'd get to chat to her afterwards for inspiring support. The website for the event is www.stratfordartshouse.co.uk

Keep writing, you've got plenty of support from the aspiring authors community.

NO - never too young! I started writing my first novel when I was 20 and threw it out because I thought I was too young and nobody would have taken me seriously. It's taken me nearly 30 years to pick up my deep rooted passion.

When you read a book it's the story, descriptive language, plot and characters that matter and not how old the author is.

Keep writing Tejinder... follow your passion. I look forward to reading your work.
