The Writing On The Wall
From its humble beginings spent shamelessly creating school absence notes purported to come from my mother, to its present day ability to attract the occasional cheque to my front door, I can barely remember a time when I didn't have some form of an interest in writing. Just some of the articles I've written are reproduced below.
It was in June 2000 that I discovered the first outlet for my efforts in a website known as 'dooyoo', and literature suffered its biggest blow to date. Convinced that I was my only audience, I threw together a few words and periodically let them out for exercise. Then 'it' happened. I noticed that people were actually reading them. Once the astonishment had subsided, I realised that here was a chance to write on subjects that were actually of some relevance to me - and a chance perhaps to be of real help to someone else.
That afternoon, 'School-louse blues' was born, and with it the not-so-astounding revelation that a genuine interest in the subject that's written on is what makes a piece worth the read. Those early submissions still remain, unedited, as a thanks to those that read them and encouraged me in the pursuit of better things, and as a way of showing newcomers that most of us probably started off by writing a note to the milkman.
If you've grown beyond penning for your pintas, then go and have a look at some of the sites where you can submit your work. dooyoo.co.uk and ciao.co.uk currently make great starting points.
