Hi, My Name is Robert. I started creative writing at age 19. I got interested in it as a result of re-doing my year 10 because I didn't do that year properly when I was in high school the first time. I will always remember my first story. the teacher gave us a list of five random items and told us basically, build a story involving these items. Most of the class turned in small pieces of work. Myself and a lady both turned massive pieces. Mine being over seventy foolscap pages. Since then I have written many poems, short stories, two plays include a one-act play and a few songs. Although they are only lyrics because I couldn't write music to save my life. I am now forty. Am I working on a novel? I wouldn't say so. I really don't believe my works have the length to be a novel. Even the longest ones are maybe novelettes I think. But to me they will always be short stories. My inspiration is anything and everything. As of yet I don't have anything in print.
