About me

I am Channel Steward for 'Business of Writing' and the 'Writing Process' in the Writing Channel . Do contact me anytime if I can be of help, or if you want know more about my subchannels.

There is never a day when I do not write. I have several blogs, in addition to writing online articles and producing web content. I also enjoy posting in forums and on message boards.

I have previously worked in print publishing and in book marketing. A few years ago I became a part time mature student, and I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree.

The best thing for me about studying was the enjoyment and satisfaction I felt in doing research and completing written assignments. I now feel the same way about researching and writing informational articles.

I like to write about the environment and green living, health and fitness, online business and political issues. I'm very enthusiastic about nature and wildlife, history and culture, art and literature.

I was born in the U.K. and I live in Southsea on the south coast of England.

A productive writer becomes a better writer. The best way to develop as a writer is to write, and continue to write, until it becomes more than just a habit. Anyone who makes a habit of writing can soon become addicted to it.
Addiction demands that an urge be satisfied, and the compulsion to write can be powerful and irresistible. If this was not so, there would be far fewer writers.
Writing is a stimulating experience. When addicted writers are not writing, they are thinking about writing. They are observing, listening, reading or doing some research. Then they can write more about what ...
