‘How should you like to grow up a clever man, and write books, eh?’ ‘I think I would rather read them, sir’ replied Oliver. Like Oliver, I too, preferred to read when I was a child. I could barely turn out a decent essay in school and was the despair of all my teachers. I was a reader, not a writer! Then, last year I developed an urge to write. I joined this site so I could get feedback on my work. So, please take look at my portfolio, and let me know what you think.
