“How did you first meet?” Tell us how YOU fell in love with writing…

You and writing. Most of the time you love each other, but there are other occasions where you can’t stand to be in the same room together. Sometimes you go weeks without saying a word, and you really need to work hard at making time for each other. But ultimately, it’s worth it.

To celebrate your love of writing, we thought we’d ask you what everyone likes to ask happy couples. “How did you first meet?” Did your eyes meet across a crowded room? Did writing sweep you off your feet? Was it a summer fling? (Tell me more, tell me more…) Or maybe you were introduced to each other by a mutual friend? What’s YOUR story? We’d love to hear it!

Tell us, in 100 words or fewer, how your love affair with writing first began. You can make it emotional, inspirational, serious, funny or even laced with a generous dose of artistic licence – whatever style you’d like. We look forward to hearing your stories – and we'll be publishing some of our favourites on the blog! Enter your story through the form below…
