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.

I wouldn't worry about it
sounds a pretty story shit to me, mate. Doubt it would have come to anything.
