I don't have much of a background in professional writing. The first time I realized I was pretty good at writing when I was in grade six. Every three years we had to write government issued tests and there was a written element to the English exam and since we only had thirty minutes to write a piece of written prose we were given practise writing. On one of these particular practises the teacher would read outloud a particularly good piece. I was shocked and delighted to find out it was mine and that's when I was hooked. I wrote every chance I got and in University wrote essays and edited amature writing. Due to a serious illness I didn't write for a long time and have just recently begun to write again but unlike high school and University I have no chance to get feed back and must learn all over again how to write a proper story. My motivation for writing right now is just to get experience and feed back and eventually get something published. To write something people just enjoy reading and perhaps be thought provoking at the same time. I would like to eventually write something like a memoire about my struggle with health issues or write something fictional about the same issues but for now just getting something published would be fun.
