It wasn't until much later though..........(yes you guessed it, the story is about me)
that I started write.
You don't become a writer in five minutes. Sometimes it takes a lifetime of observation
and experience before you can begin and although many authors write from childhood I
didn't
even think about it for many years.
So what happened to me in between my school days and my writing days?
Well, first I went to college where again I sat dreaming in between learning the skills of
shorthand
and typing. Then I got married, had two children a boy and a girl, acquired a house and
various pets.
I had lots of jobs. A fruit picker, a typist then an Insurance clerk and next a
reporter for
a local newspaper. And that's when I realised that I could write stories and that writing
stories was something that I really liked to do.
So I eventually I gave up my job and started writing at home. In the evening I studied
literature at college.
I wrote a few magazine articles. Then I decided I would write a book, then another. Both
were rejected
by dozens of publishers. There aren't many writers who are lucky enough to have their
first book published.
But then, four or five books later, I wrote CATCH THE MOON.
This became my first published novel. Even then I had to wait a year before it came out.
When books
are accepted for publication there are many stages for it to go through before it can be
seen on
the bookshelves. Editing, planning, designing the cover, printing - it all takes many
months.
Now, eleven years later I have thirty five books published in over twenty languages world
wide.
It just shows you, if you stick at something it pays off in the end.
