Losing Inhibitions_Sexy in the Sun

Whilst I don’t have any formal qualifications for writing, I did end up going back to education in my twenties, completing a college course in Travel and Tourism and then going on to earn a BA in International Tourism. Neither courses are particularly erotic, nor do they have anything to do with erotic fiction writing, but they did give me a chance to practice writing essays, albeit rather boring ones.
About two years ago, I developed an arthritic condition which had me crippled in pain, and led to me looking for another type of work, since I couldn’t face the thought of going to work in agony each day. I had some money saved, and supported by my mum who was having to take me to endless hospital appointments, since driving myself was difficult, I finished at the store which I managed, and set about looking for an alternate means to support myself.
Writing came to mind, but I didn’t really think I had the talent to earn anything. Biting the bullet, I committed myself to writing a novel, and after a few false starts the right story came into my head and in about three weeks I had the first draft. I was fairly scared of sending it off, but I did my research, choosing an online publisher, closed my eyes and pressed “send”, emailing the finished draft off with a shudder.
About three to four weeks later I received the reply that the publisher was interested, and now I’m here writing my “author’s bio” which will be placed in the finished work! Wow!
I’m already into the third Chapter of the next installment, and will be crossing everything in the hopes that my first book actually sells!
Onwards and upwards!
