Getting Started

Today I want to talk about the beginning.

Everything has a beginning. A book, a recipe, a walk, a job; they all start somewhere.

My love of writing started when I was a little girl. It grew from my love of reading. But my writing journey has only just started.

Activity – Your beginning

Have a think about the book made you fall in love with reading or writing. Do you still have it? If so, why not give it another read and remind yourself of the wonders that made you fall in love with it.

Here’s mine – The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe – C.S. Lewis. I fell in love with the each and every character in this book. As a child, my favourite was Lucy because I wanted to be her, I wanted to be the one finding the magic. As an adult, my favourite is Professor Digory Kirkenone, the owner of the country house and, therefore, the magical wardrobe. He encourages the children to believe and belief is a very powerful thing.
