I loved to write stories at school. Always about witches when I was six. They became ghostly and about death by the time I hit my teens. Is it any wonder I stopped writing until my thirties?
When I started writing as an adult the words didn’t flow as they had. I had a whole room to sit in, I blew dust from the keyboard and formed a chain of paperclips from my chair to the door. But over time my imagination awoke. I no longer wrote stories of witches, ghosts and dead people (well, only occasionally) but they still had a dark side. Do my characters live on after I’ve finished writing them? Wouldn’t that be scarey? This blog has been started so that they can, at least that’s the theory.
Hi Julie. I came across one of your stories on Scribble, and had a little look at some of your writing here. I really enjoy it- I find it so poignant and engaging! I noticed you’re hoping to publish a book in 2018. I hope it does indeed see the light of day- and I intend to order it if so.
Thanks for sharing your writing! x
Thank you Jill, for your encouragement. Always lovely to get feedback. Book just about on time. It will be good to get back to short stories and blog pieces.
