Little things lead to big things

In response to the last blog, little things lead to big things. When I was at school, I loved writing essays and always liked to write a title first and work round that. At senior school, I showed my English Teacher a book of a long story I had written - really a short novel. She was interested and said keep writing. At l3 I wanted to be a roving reporter. I never became one but writing had already taken a hold and when the children were very tiny, I sent a clothing tag to a woman's magazine which had a funny misinterpretation to it - the fault of the manufacturer. My letter was published and now I regularly write letters to magazines and get them published now and again. Recently, I had a letter and photo published in Yours magazine and I received two shopping vouchers. So as they say, one thing leads to another. Keep persevering. Finally, going back to the essay when I started with a good title - Charles Dickens did just that!
