Hello, my name is Peggy. I am a writer.

The other morning I woke up one hour earlier than I needed to. For those that know me, this is a startling revelation. I am a true bedhead, I don’t ever wake up before I need to. Well at least I didn't before I found something to jump out of bed early for. 

After I woke up I grabbed my laptop, plonked myself on the lounge and just started typing. An hour passed and I realised I had written some 1500 words. It was the perfect start to my day. It is moments like this I realise writing is my true passion. It is the one art form that puts a real spring in my step. I smile to myself when I think of things to write and when I finish writing I am full of excitement. Ideas are abundant and my mind has been opened up to inspiration in other forms as a result of the kick-start to my artistic side.

As some of you may be aware I am currently drafting my very first book. An eBook. I have always dreamt of writing a book and now that I am full of ideas and the desire to write I am going for it. An eBook seems like the perfect place to start. It won't cost much, I will have freedom to be creative, and hopefully someone, just someone, might even want to read it. I also have an idea for a paperback based on another passion of mine, to be commenced further down the track. Strangely enough, although this thought feels somewhat scary, it feels amazing and exciting and, amazingly exciting!

I have always been a dreamer. I have always believed in having dreams. I wondered in my earliest blogging days if I was possibly dreaming about this whole writing thing. I wanted to call myself a writer, but I was wondering if since I am not a published writer can I in fact still call myself a writer. Recently while reading about authentic self I realised that your true self defines who you really are.

I am a writer. 

What inspires you? What really gets your heart racing and makes your insides burst with excitement? What is your one true passion? Do you dare to dream?
