We're the ones who taste the world with words, right? Then we have the same ink flowing through our veins, the same passion for weaving magic with a wave of our pens. So there's probably a lot in my story that's also your story. I started off writing for love, then realised I could do it for money – copywriter and journalist – and now I'm back to doing it for love all over again. After a 2 year break to do my Hon in Applied Linguistics (planning my Masters in something to do with Cognitive Linguistics next year) I'm somewhere close to wrapping up my first novel.
