So I Guess I’m a Freelance Writer Now?
I’ve always had a passion for writing.
When I was younger, I used to sit on the swing outside for hours and makeup stories in my head that I was going to write down once I was back inside.
I wrote in my diary every day and produced a very amateur written magazine at the age of seven, to raise money for the local animal shelter.
So it was no surprise that as I made my way through school and into college, I decided that I quite fancied studying journalism.
I took up English at A-Level but soon realised that it wasn’t my best subject. I was excelling in Law, Sociology and Media Studies, but my English grades weren’t quite up to the same standard, so I made the difficult decision to drop it.
The technicalities were killing my writing, and so I stopped completely. There’s nothing like stringent grammar rules to kill your creativity and joy for a particular subject.
I ended up going on to study Law at University, which was still heavily full of writing, but just in a different manner. I became analytical and adept at forming strong arguments, which was just as well, as that’s what the law is all about.
But there was always something missing.
