| xxx xxxDear Success Seeker, xxxThe following writer has been kind enough to share her story with us. xxxIf you would like
to contribute your story and photo to me, email them to: xxxThank you. xxxCaroline Gebbie
In 1988 I was in a road accident.
This left me in a coma for a short time and I went from 9
stone to 5 and ½ stone in just a couple of weeks. On
leaving hospital I had lost most of my memory from before
the accident. My left leg and left arm were useless. I
was told they would not get much better and I would never
have the brain power to understand most things. Following a terrible divorce I
had to earn more money and qualified as an accountant
whilst running half marathons as my hobby. Yes my leg is
much better, never believe the negative things you are
told. In 2002 I began to get ill again
and eventually had to give up work, fortunately my brain
is still active, so bored I came back to writing. Success
has taken time and been sporadic, I have had a couple of
things printed and some fillers. I have completed two
novels, and am half way through a third. One a romance,
which is currently under consideration with a publisher,
was written after taking Robs Romance course. The other two are horror novels.
One is currently with Rob, for his advice, help and
feedback. I completed it after doing his Mentored Horror
course in 2007. The other one I did alongside his current
horror course. I learn a lot each time I take one of his
courses, and highly recommend them. I have also recently done his screenwriting course and really loved this. I am using that knowledge to enter some screenwriting competitions. I have lots of great ideas and hopefully will be able to report some more success soon. xxcTo us, xxxWrite-Intention |

I have written most of my life.
In my youth I wrote letters to every paper that would
accept them, usually on controversial subjects. I had
some success and wrote short stories, mostly for myself.
