It's going to sound contrived, but I have always wanted to write... since a small age, it's the only thing I have had a consistent interest in. (Truck Driver, Astronaut ad Helicopter Pilot didn't work out).

As I move through life, I am coming to realise that no one is going to walk through my door and offer me thousands of pounds to write a script or story on a whim. I need to get off my backside, slave over a hot laptop (well, mine seems to get pretty hot anyhow) and work at it.

I am involved with amateur dramatics, and have gained immense pleasure writing and producing with a friend plays for amateur theatre.

It is the spark of creation.. the evolution of an idea that excites me. Seeing other people enjoy something I have created is the best kick ever. (no need for drugs).

I guess it's like any other skill.... (if I can call it that)... the more you do it, the better you get.
