Kristopher Jansma:
I have a deep passion for writing, and I want to develop these skills for Collage. But I don't really know if this is the career path for me. Would you say getting a B+ in English literature at GCSE level is good enough to carry on with it at A Level? + I love your books!

Rachael - Thank you so much! I think that if you really love to write then you'll find a way to make it a part of your life. It can be very difficult to make it work as an independent career, just because the money can be very sporadic and books can take unpredictable amounts of time to complete! I work as a professor at a college here, and do some other classes on the side through other programs, and that helps me pay the bills while I'm working on whatever comes next! And on that note, I really love teaching writing and literature, because it keeps me thinking about books and words, and how to excite an audience (my students). So that works well for me. Other people I know have ordinary day jobs, and they work on their writing at night or on weekends and do very well with it too. I hope you'll keep reading and writing too!
