From a young age I always spent all my time in my room writing anything that comes to mind. My imagination is very strong and spend more time in the fantancy world than the real world. We all want that perfect life but we dont always have the vision come true but its is good to hold on to something magical.
When I was about seven years old I said to my mother I want that book please, she said ' your never read it' because I didnt have that book a part of me is missing and all I could see is that cover and the feel of the book in that shop. I wanted to go back and pick it up. I said again to mum can I please have that book. 'No' she said. When I went into town again I had pocket money and I picked it up and payed for it out of my own money and I smiled I was the most happiest child ever. When I got in the car I start reading the book in my head and wow even the first page really got my mind ticking. With my head in the book I walk out of the car into the house and into the living room just reading the words with one eye and floor with the other, I just couldn't put it down I was glued to the book. In a week I finished the book. It had no pictures or colour just plain print word book and I read it and I felt great. I thought about the book about the storyline and had an idea maybe I should write about it and I did just that.
As a teenager I spend all my time in the library reading and writing . I used to walk out of class, skip lessons, breaks and lunches and be at my happy place the back of the library with my head in my book eating my lunch. I'd be in after school hours sitting there reading. I'd have to be moved because of the school closing but I took books back with me so i never lost a page.
Few years go by and I get obsessed with not just books but notebooks and diaries. I would soon have a draw full of a4 notebooks, a5, a6, a7 down to the very tiny notebook to carry with me.
When I got to my adulthood I had an office with a draw full of notebooks still, folders and pens everywhere. I cleaned my draws regularly to keep my books in one place and pens. I also had a laptop as well but I only ever used word processing as that's all I knew and how to use. My bedroom was an office and still lived there as always my bedroom was my comfort or the library with my books.
Today I am 27 and I still have a draw full of notebooks, a cabinet of my books, cooking books, educational book even my first collection of the Harry Potter and pens in not one but three pencil cases.
I have all I need to open a school but I have a clear idea of been who I am and that is to write and be a writer.
