Hello, and welcome to my website. In todays’ World, there seems to be an ever increasing number of people who yearn to become writers. There are some who will endeavour to write accounts about stirring scenes from their life in the form of a Memoir or others will embark on the imaginative path of creating Short Stories, Novels, Screenplays or Poems.
There are probably many reasons why an individual strives to become a story-teller - money, fame, etc., however, whatever the motives, that awakens the craft within, I believe Passion, Purpose and Persistence are necessary attributes for any writer. There are thousands of Wordsmiths who are continually creating stories for monetary gain, striving to produce interesting written tales gleaned from original thoughts and mixed with realistic recollections and convincing characters. In attempting to accommodate a demanding and selective writing market, writers are nearly always faced with a mixture of small successes and disappointments that often challenge inspiration.
Perhaps the writer who is content in practicing the art of writing and simply takes pleasure in creating stories from a mixture of thoughts, words and their imagination will never be disheartened.
