My Passion for Writing

Coming from a family of bookworms, 

I was bitten by the reading bug very early on. 

I did write in bits and pieces over the years 

but  it wasn't until a few years ago, 

I finally took the plunge and left a secure corporate world 

to move 

into a fictional world of words. 

It easily meant that the generous paycheque 

which I had grown used to would disappear quickly 

and instead of others looking out for me, 

I would have to fend for myself.

Not an easy thought to digest considering I was working 

for one of the best companies in the world 

but 

risk is a way of life. 

If not now, then when?

Has the risk paid off? 

No not yet - 

there are miles to go before I sleep 

but for sure, 

my creative instincts 

are being nurtured and soothed with each passing day!

That gives me a lot of happiness and inner peace!
