When I was a child I wanted to be an author
I was certain of it through my school days but my college wouldn't accept me on the English course. I ended up doing Psychology and Sociology and I have no idea why. They just sort of twisted me in to signing up for the courses. I hated them both and dropped out after a couple of months. A year later I lied on a university application form and got a place at uni and three years later had a BSc with Honours in Technology.

I enjoy my job because fucking about with computers is a hobby of mine but a part of me still longs to be an author. But as anyone who reads any of the shit I write on B3ta can tell, my punctuation and grammar are shit.

No disrepect to PJ here, but I have some advice for all budding authors, including myself:
Write something interesting you stupid fuckpig. Start Now.

I've always half-fancied writing a historical novel.
I'm thinking of writing and illustrating a book for my daughter, too. One where the principal character has her name and is a pirate.

I'm not a budding author though
I didn't get on the English Lit course because I'm not very good at it.

I did write this one book about a young boy who discovers he is a wizard and goes off to wizard school but I left it in some Edinburgh Cafe called The Elephant house in the 90's and never found it. I couldn't remember what I wrote.
