Although my name is William, I much prefer the alternative of Bill because when at school if Iwas named as William, it usually meant that I was in trouble!

 

When younger I loved reading and would often disappear into my room for days, especially if it was something really special. Of course, I finally decided to try my own hand and dip a finger into the literary world by entering competitions. One particular weekly competition was within me city newspaper, perhaps a short story, or maybe a poem, yet never the less I often won and apart from the small financial reward it was the acknowledgement of being able to write that meant so much at that time.
