A Little About My Writing Ambitions

I always wanted to write a best-seller, especially in the horror/thriller genre, but after exploring every form of writing possible while studying my Diploma of Professional Writing and Editing, I've found that being able to produce a well-written essay or successful poem provides the same level of satisfaction. It doesn't matter what I write, as long as I write it well.

Writing for children is the hardest, yet most rewarding, albeit not in a monetary sense. Yes, it's a harder market to crack, but a child's enthusiasm for a story I've written holds a magic that adults just don't possess.

The most important thing for me right now is that everything I write makes a difference to someone's life. Whether it's successful copy for an advertisement, a poem for a special event or a bigger project, my goal is to make a difference with carefully crafted words.

Sorry It's Been So Long

I apologise for the large gap in postings. I've had a few small successes in the last two years, which all add to my writing resume. One of my poems was published in 'Short & Twisted' in 2009 and I will have 2 mini-shorts published in 'Short & Twisted' this year.


Another of my poems was a finalist in the Moartz 2009 Take a Bow Writing Competition.


All small accomplishments, but we all have to start somewhere.
