Who am I?<\/h1>\n

Ah that old chestnut!<\/p>\n

But seriously, other than my extraordinary appetite for chocolate and a proclivity to having Marmite and cheese on toast, I am a writer just like you are. At the time of writing\u00a0this “about” section, I have not been published…at all.<\/p>\n

I hope to rewrite this section soon.<\/p>\n

I joked at our last writers group meeting that I should create my own competition just so I could win something. In my defense, I have only been doing this for about a year, and I feel as if my writing is getting better and betterer. Ha!<\/p>\n

My goal with this site is to document my struggles, my education and also see how much of my day job<\/a> might be applicable to the business of being an author.<\/p>\n

I would hope that in time it would become a useful resource to others of my kind.<\/p>\n

PS. Shortspark refers to the sometimes brief and instantaneous flash of inspiration that can spark an idea, an idea that can turn into a life’s work, even though having started as a split-second epiphany, a short spark!<\/p>\n
