Get what you give
New Radicals
‘This whole damn world can fall apart. You’ll be OK, follow your heart’
It’s one of my many go to songs when I need to hear something optimistic. I love the lyrics all about not giving up on your dreams, and trying to be the best version of you that you can be. I was 16 when it first came out, and I loved it, from the moment I saw the video. It gave me confidence during some of the low moments that everyone has during high school.
I wasn’t surprised that the Glee cast covered the song, given how much optimism existed in that show, it was kind of perfect for them to do.

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.
