    Hi All

    Hi All,

    Where do I start...I had previously never taken writing seriously nor did I ever think I could. I took up writing not through choice or for a hobby or employment but as a means to help me deal with a life long anxiety disorder that had quite literally destroyed my life. When at the very bottom of the barrel and with what seemed like no other place to go I turned to putting my experiences in ink, at first to try make some sense of what was wrong with me and for a better understanding of the condition I was suffering from. Thankfully through the process of writing I made a monumental discovery about my problems and who I was as a person, it truly saved me. I found it to be very therapeutic, a medium through which I could pour out my thoughts and empty my mind, something everyone should do from time to time writers and non writers alike!

    I am particularly interested in non fiction and love inspirational work drawn from real life experiences, also anything revolving nature and the natural world.

    Writing is wonderful and as I said has helped save me and I would now like to continue writing and share thoughts and experiences with like minded people, hence why I'm here!

    Great site and I have enjoyed reading all the stories and reviews. Hope to get to know you all more!
