"Once I started writing books, I felt better. I'd made my own happiness."
-- Cathy Kelly
I'm currently a student, and I've had a knack for writing since I was young. The is probably because I also was (am) a compulsive reader, so I learned to write by reading good writing-- and lots of it. If I could read it, I did.
As a result, I never had any formal instruction on writing-- even paragraph structure escapes me sometimes. But I'm working on it. Practice, practice, practice!
