So like most people, I've always had the strong desire to write a book. Ever since I was little and first really got into reading, I knew that someday I wanted to write my own storybook.
A few years down the line and that desire in me is still very strong, to the point where I am now putting into play how to begin putting these words to paper - and it's no easy feat, believe me!
I've also begun to add books to my reading list that fall outside of my comfort zone, as I think it's important to try something different. This both expands your thinking and interests, and also your knowledge of words and the way different people write.
I am always interested to hear what other people have read that they have found interesting/inspirational/moving/compelling - so please, if you have any suggestions of titles I can add to my list, please drop me an email.
As well as expanding my reading, I have also been speaking to people who write, both for fun and those who have been successful in publishing their work. This has proved interesting in finding out how different people get their inspiration for their writing.
Examples being sat at a desk with an endless supply of tea, traveling to somewhere new with just a notebook and pen, to even just changing a room around so that it feels like a different place.
So what inspires you?
So until my next post, I will be indulging in the different things that inspire me, and hoping to eventually make a start on these books that are bubbling away in my mind ready to burst out.

Some of most inspiring things to me is when people write more than they read, when they question the things no one questions, and when they remain humble despite huge success (as deemed by others).
Inspiring stories always comes from people that have an obsession with something...like creating energy from wind. I'd recommend reading: The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba. !
