Write a book!

Have you ever dreamt about being an author-girl? Seeing your name in print, having other people read your stories and get lost in your ideas?

The fact of the matter is you can write a book from the moment you can pick up a pen or tap on a computer, so what are you waiting for? Cathy Cassidy, the incredibly successful author of 'Dizzy' and 'Indigo Blue' offers this advice:

- Read lots – you’ll learn about style, plot and narrative as you go!

- Write about something you care about – it’ll show!

- Write as often as you can, even if it’s just in a diary/journal – it’s all practice!

- Every story needs a beginning, middle and end – keep to the point and don’t get sidetracked!

- Don’t expect overnight success – it took me A LONG TIME to get my first book published! But aim high, work hard… and follow your dreams!
