Hi everyone. Joining this site is,for me, all about giving in to the fact that I want to write and accepting that it is not something that has to be done in isolation. Currently I'm working on a book - have received my first contract from a publisher -and would like nothing better than earning my living from writing. My interests include gardening,watercolour painting, poetry, martial arts (Aikido)and cooking. Look forward to talking in the near future.
