Why Writing?

As said previously, I've always known I wanted to be a writer.
I didn't exactly choose that path, it kind of chose me.

Before I could write English properly, I created my own language that I wrote pages and pages of in a little notebook, I still have it somewhere. Granted it was just scribbles, slightly reminiscent of cursive writing (very slightly)  that didn't make and sort of sense to anyone other than I but just the simple act of writing made me happy.When other children my age struggled with the concept of the alphabet, I took to it like a duck to water. The abstract symbols that we use to convey language are meaningless shapes that we have assigned meaning.

In studying for my Bachelor of Arts Degree in English Literature I have learned much in the way of language. I have taken courses on the origin of language, writing and storytelling, only further strengthening my passion for writing.

 I have a wealth of stories to tell, and only times to do so.
