Biography
I've been writing now for a few years, had a number of pieces published, worked on Flash Fictions, Poetry and other formats, but I really just like to write,
I was told by a friend that there are two things to being an author.
The first is that to understand what it means to be a author, you have to write a million words. (It turns out you can't just copy and paste the same word over and over), which I've done. Spread across different sized pieces and styles, including numerous edits etc.
The second was to never do it for the money, but the love.
I enjoy it, and spend a lot of my spare time either sketching out thoughts, or planning pieces. (Research is Key)
I guess when it stops being fun, I should stop too. But for now, I'm going to keep on going, I have almost 50 pieces to complete so I might be some time.
I hope you enjoy the work I post, please do give feedback, it's always useful.
