‘Love what you do and do what you love. Dont listen to anyone else who tells you not to do it. You do what you want, what you love. Imagination should be the center of your life.’ Ray Bradbury
What a wonderful way to live ones life. Ray Bradbury is a hero of mine. My other heroes are Albert Einstein, Mark Twain and Oscar Wilde. I love them for their intellect, their wit and the unique way they see the world.

We are interested in how you get your ideas for writing. We would also love some tips from you as to how we could become better writers.
