Hi, I started writing stories when my life was in a crisis prior to that iv never thot about writing' once I had a head line of whatever crisis we were in at the time or situation the rest would just come naturally , my real stories reflect from parts of my life that I'd like to think a lot of people would be able to relate to, when a frend of mine saw my writing she approached a group I would go to every week & I can't remember who sponsored me, but it didn't last very long as I took I'LL so from 05 2002, up until now I put my writing away never thinking I could or would even want to write again, it all started again on April this year where I got my daughter an iPad & started using it myslf ( taught by my 12yr old daughter of course ) & when I started getting the basics & didn't have to shout my daughter out of her room everytme I made a mistake, still I only no the basics,but thro Facebook I found this site called- quotations of all types , open & wellcum to any1 wanting to put quotes, jokes & photoes I slowly but surely started putting up quotations that would just come from the top of my head depending how I was feeling, as I never stick to one topic it changes based on how I feel & some times I can't put anything up at all but I'd like to think when I do put stuff up it seems to be about a months worth of writings as once I start I find it hard to stop, I was over the moon when I got a msg from the site asking me if I'd like to becum an admin on their site & of course I jumped at the chance & felt privilege ed to, there was no need for me to take my writing folders out that I'd neatly tucked away- never to bring them out again, or so I thot bcoz sum of them hold very bad memories to me apart from the ones that were based on poetry like short stories that were based on things like the weather to the inviroment( something I never in my life thot I'd engage in by form of writing)so that's how my writing took place & apart from that I'm a very private Pearson & I think I like to express myslf thro writing it makes me happy & when my numbers & likes go up on the quotation page I'm on it gives me more inspiration to write, my motto for my writing at the moment is that if even one Pearson can gain something in life from just one of my quotes that's enough for me as my quotes come straight from the heart & are all of my own & if I do ever add another quotator s quote I'd always gv them a mention as why should I take the benifit of another's stuff or in other words ( why should I reap what I don't sow ) that quote just came to mind now & it's not mine & unfortunately I don't know who it belongs to,but justice to the one whom it belongs to as a quote that's remembered is a good one indeed, so I'd gladly & feel privilege ed to hv even one of my stories put up & neither have I any expectations of them being a hit!!! But I'm fine with that as at least I'll always NO I TRIED......................YOURS SINCERLY- Iina mcfarmers...
