This blog is for all things writing-related... I've been writing for half my life now. Scary. I write contemporary, literary fiction with dark psychological thriller strands. I need to get published before my last marble rolls into the river Trent. For God's sake, help me. :)

Ten great reasons NOT to become a writer...
One - You might start scrabbling up a career ladder and make loads of money instead
Two - You won't have to write every day
Three - You might not become a lunatic (no guarantees)
Four - You might become less intense a person, less anal, less OCD (again, no guarantees)
Five - You won't approach every personal trauma with: "this'll make a cracking plot"
Six - You might not stow away conversations in a notebook or get kicked under the table by your partner for staring at people in pubs
Seven - You could have a great looking garden, and hobbies, even
Eight - You'll save loads of money on ink and paper, notebooks and pens. (Unless you become a journalist or a parish councillor instead)
Nine - You might maintain a healthy distance from yourself, avoid self-analysis, self-absorption. (You might even get out more)
Ten - You might end up a nice sun-kissed colour without a chair-shaped arse and RSI (unless your day job is in IT)
