For 3 years I dreamed of writing a book. And then I did. Although a long, intense process, it was wonderful creating characters, people that looked the way I wanted them to, spoke and acted the way I decided they should. It felt amazing, exhilarating.

I saw a sweater one day with the words ‘Watch this face… I’m gonna be famous’ emblazoned across the front of it. I bought it and wore it proudly. I had dreams, big dreams.
