I’m going to list all the books that I have in my writing library, I’ll be using these as the core of my journey to be a writer.
This is something that’s been brewing for a few years now with me swerving closer and closer each year and I believe this is the year where I actually go for it!
I’ve also signed up for a few writing courses online to help.
So keep an eye out here for me trying out writing and developing as time goes by.
