To begin
I have been working with The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron these
past 10 weeks after moving back to my mothers, in a small
conservative town by the sea along the south coast. It has been a
painful and incredible journey. I am not the same person who came
hysterically depressed after a great walloping defeat, London 1
Charmaine 0. Yes, I am 26. I am a failed performance artist and
perhaps I should retrain and become a Librarian or an Archivist or
a Wedding Planner... Or so I thought. Fact is, 10 weeks in and I
have rekindled my love of books and writing and in particular for
those under 5 ft who have not yet reached puberty. I am a
children's fiction writer - or am I? I just joined this site, only
to write 'sight' instead of site on my first potential
friends wall and I was horrified. I had butterflies because someone
spoke to me who is also a writer too. It is like the first day of
school, the first time you meet your partners parents or children -
or - pet. I am nervous. No terrified. Yet completely in awe of
myself and Julia Cameron for getting me here. Career path toward
that 'grown up' twenty thou a year position gone, poof, away into
the atmosphere. I am a writer - no - author and performance artist,
come extraordinary me. I may not be any good and I may spell site
as sight but how will I ever continue through life without a begin?
For the first time in life I am being true. As true as true can be.

Someone wrote a blog the other day to stress how high the standards are on this site.
This site certainly helps me with writing mechanics. By that I mean the mechanics of writing, not writing mechanics... mmm! ok,
Very warm welcome to you from us all and please feel free to call on all those experts who are published in a variety of fashions - just like wha' I dos. hahaha!
Also if at times you need some emotional support, I for one can say the folk on here are amoungst the best to be found anywhere. You'll get good advice on here about writing, (obviously) and woes of life.
Soo, good luck in your new adventure.
