First Entry

OK, this is scary. I've written a lot in the 34 years I've been around: something like 20 novels, some better and longer than others (the first was finished when I was 14, and only a few have been finished since I left school, because I've been trying to make one or two of them publishable and that's a never-ending job), plus daily diary entries from the age of about 13 1/2 to 19, with a few diaries since which never got beyond six months because to be honest my life is just not as interesting as it was when I was a teenager. My best diary since then was November 2005 to c. June 2006, because it was about my first baby, who arrived on Christmas Day 2005, so I actually had something to write about!

But I've never ever published anything. Ever. All right, I've had a few friends and family members read one or two of my novels, and all right I suppose there were essays and things at school and university, but I've never had anything like this that anyone could read.

So...scary.

Anyway, next entry I'll try and do something more interesting, but for now I guess that's it.
