I’m in two minds, do I go all in and book the trip that I’ve wanted to go on, all my life? Blow all the rest of the inheritance on going to Rome, and not care that I might not be able to do all that I want to while I’m there, or do some smaller trips and keep saving money for the Rome trip? Delayed gratification has never really been my strong point, I’m not a saver, I’m more the see something I want and have to have it in that moment.
Maybe it’s time that I finally become a standard ‘responsible adult’. It’s become very obvious that everyone in my life, can claim to be far closer to being a responsible and productive adult, than I can, and fulfil the stereotype of where a person should be at my time of life far better.
It’s definitely something that I need to achieve, sooner rather than later. Things are becoming rather tense, and I know for my own peace of mind I can’t keep living this way. I feel…it’s not a healthy place to be, for either me or the parents.

I'm a thirty something woman who lives in the north of England. I have been a writer for as long as I can remember, creating stories both written and verbal since childhood. While studying at Edge Hill College, I got several poems published by a small publisher in the USA, and in Europe. I have been part of several writing groups, and done quite a few courses in a attempt to hone my writing skills further. I love reading different genres of fiction, knowing that the best way to develop my own writing, and my vocabulary is by exposing myself to the different ways that other people choose to describe things.
The most recent writing course that I've been part of, run by a published author, included a exercise in which we were challenged to read things that we would never usually even look at.
It inspired me to take up a challenge. Namely to attempt to read at least one book by every author which is stocked in my local library. I soon realised that I was being far too ambitious, especially given the fact that every library rotates their stock too often for me to keep track.
I've decided to instead attempt to read a book every day, starting with a author whose surname begins with A, and ending with a author whose surname begins with Z. It doesn't matter what the topic of the book is, or if it's fiction or non fiction, everything is useful for me at the minute.
