Always Write As If You Are Talking

I'm An Escapist Kind Of Writer.

I Have Always Believed That Life Is Too Short For Rows And Disagreements. Even If I Think I'm Right, I Would Prefer To Apologize And Remain Friends Rather Than Win And Be An Enemy.

I Was Lucky Enough To Be Fairly Quick At Understanding What Was Taught, But Unlucky Enough Not To Be Really Interested In It, So I Always Got My Exams But Never Had The Scholar's Love Of Learning For Its Own Sake.

Everybody Is A Hero In Their Own Story If You Just Look.

When I Was Younger, I Avoided Exercise Or Anything Strenuous. I Didn't Even Enjoy Walking. As I Got Older, I Spent So Much Time Marking Books Or Sitting At A Desk Writing That There Was No Room For Exercise - Not That I Would Have Bothered Anyway.
