This Is Where I Learn To Write, Because I Like Writing A Lot

Writing is stacks of fun. I really love to write and I’ve done it for a long time. And I still love to write as much now. I remember back when I was young and at primary school I wrote so many stories, I suspect my teacher got pretty bored reading all my stories. And he was amazed that I could write quite so much when I was so young. But I’m not sure that I’m any good at it, I just like it.
I did a university degree when I got older, but it didn’t include writing, a shame, though I wish now I had. If I was young again and going to university all over again I’d think about doing some real study about the art of writing. I studied what I needed to to get a job, I just wish I’d studied what I liked to do.
I don’t know if I could ever have become good enough at writing to make any money at it, who knows, I just like it. But perhaps I could have tried if I’d thought about it. If I had my chances again I’d try, but you never get it again do you?
I’m really quite convinced writing is a skill that can be learned. Of course not everyone can learn it because there’s other important things as well. For example I think it’s essential that you love to do it. That’s like anything. If you don’t love it you’re unlikely to keep at it long enough to learn the skill.
But if you love it like I do then writing is just something that needs time to develop, it doesn’t happen at once. It is a skill that you have to work on every day. I work on it every day, like now.
So I have this website and this is where I’m going to practice my writing and learn how to do it. I have it on the internet as it’s a convenient place to have it, but I really don’t intend for lots of people to come along and read it, I’m not fussed about that. It’s just about me and what I do every single day, so it’s probably pretty boring to others. But if you’re someone reading this then I have at least one other visitor other than me, so thanks for visiting my website and reading my writing.
