Author bio

I am by no means a great writer I am by no means a good writer Which is depressing because I do love writing and I fancy that one day I'll be able to make a living from it. - (Pathetic Right) But I'm not giving up! It hurts when that whisper of a companion inside my head tells me that i will never measure up. But I'm not giving up! Note to whoever reads my stories: Please don't be spearing in your criticism, go all out. It is only through your help that I hope to grow as a writer. So please come for my sentences with all the arsenal you can carry. Have a good day :) Godspeed
