Common Inspiration? Who cares!

Yelloo Bloggerbuddies!
Well before I start to show you some of the stories that I have written myself I thought it would be a good idea to talk about my inspiration and why I want to become an author. To be honest it started at a young age when I was in middle school; whenever the teacher set us homework to do that involved us being creative and writing something that was completely our own, I was secretly thrilled but of course I would always groan along with the rest of the class!

From there I started writing short stories and loved giving them to my friends and family for them to read. I got such a buzz from the positive feedback (Even if it might have been a little bit biased). It was initially my mum's idea for me to become an author and then she remembered something......
When my mum was young, her mum (My nan) went to see a clairvoyant and she told her that her daughter would become a writer. Of course my mum has never written in her life so we figured it was Bogus, despite the fact that she got everything else right! But when I started writing my stories, I found great comfort knowing this fact and it spurred me on, because as far fetched as it sounds, I did see this as a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel!

So its all looking promising but when I came to High School I kind of stopped writing. I know, shameful! But when your starting a new school with people that are up to five years older than you, you don't want to be known as the sad girl that locks herself in her bedroom and just writes and writes. I look back now and think "look at all of that time that I lost!!". I doesn't matter though because I feel like I have caught up. I didn't start writing again until I was 16/17 and my friend bet me that I could not read all of the Harry Potter books before Christmas (It was October). So this certainly was not a bet that I would turn down! I didn't actually own any of the books but my nan did so every weekend I would borrow all eight of the books one at a time and before I knew it I was absolutely hooked! Anyone who hasn't read them- What the hell???? I would highly recommend you read them! Believe me, it won't take long to finish all of the books once you get going! So anyway, I won the bet! And it also instilled my passion for writing back into me. I know what you're going to say "Oh great just another delusional Harry Potter fan who believes that they can get the fame of JK Rowling and looks up to her like some sort of God!" Well maybe you are right but there is absolutely nothing wrong with that!

There's nothing wrong with a bit of HP! I got my own for my birthday last year.

Just thought I would add that the first book I remember reading properly was Black Beauty. What was yours? <3
