Writing Changes

I was always the sister that many thought was the shy, quiet one. I think I have surprised a few people along the way as I haven't turned out to be so shy and retiring. My other half just snorts at me when I say that I was once, shy and retiring.

Even though I have come out of my shell, so to speak, my self confidence hasn't exactly been very high. I would never be able to do something like Strictly Come dancing or X facter as I am neither very good at dancing or singing. I would also be very embarrassed at having to do something in front of the general public.

However, when I made the concious decision to try writing a novel I managed to get to the end. I was filled with elation. I had managed to do it but then came the scary bit. I had then to go on and start my attempts at getting an agent. This is not the easiest of things. I know that from the many interviews I have read about other authors. But if I had still be that shy, quiet and retiring youngster that I once was then I would have given up after the first rejection and gone no further; but I have now applied to two further agents. I would never have done that in what now feels like a previous life. It is amazing just how obvious to me it now is; just how much I have changed and all because of a writing course and great tution.

My Very First Blog

I never thought the day where I would follow in the footsteps of so many others and start a blog. But here I am, doing just that. If it hadn't been for so many others I wouldn't have had the courage to do so myself.

I better introduce myself. My name 'Sunday name' is Christina but I am Chris to many of my friends and family.

My hopes for this blog? For it to follow me on my journey through my writing experiences, whatever they may be and for any other experiences which may come along in this journey of mine.
