So I've succumbed to the pull of a blog...I have a Facebook and Twitter account. I write on Opuss and Wattpad yet that is not enough it would seem...so here I am.

Ordinarily I would be writing and let me tell you I really should be writing. I mean two novellas and a novel are not going to get finished by themselves but due to an unfortunate case of constipated words...they just aren't coming I'm afraid.

Between that, my needing a bowl of sugar puffs and awaiting 'The Paradise' and the return of my tv husband, Declan Donnelly in 'I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here' not much writing is going to get done tonight.

So I figured to balance out my somewhat lazy mind. I could at least write a small and debut blog about myself K B Mallion.

Really if I had stopped for just a second I should have done one right from the beginning of my journey but I kind of got swept away with my words as they weaved inside my brain and created two novels, five novellas, countless poems and verse and lots of children stories.

Yet it has been a journey. At the age of 39 I decided to dedicate my life to the only thing that I gave a damn about other than my family. I found a little app called 'Opuss' and found an outlet in the public domain where I could put my words. My confidence grew as did my friendship circle. It was on here I began to write short stories. The mere thought of writing a book made me shudder as I'd tried it once before in my late teens and that story is still in a box somewhere.
You see I get bored very easily, I have the attention span of a goldfish. There is far too much stuff swimming about my head so I honestly didn't think I had it in me to write a book again.

However I was older, wiser and had an idea!

This idea hung around my mind for a few months, the plots were forming, the characters were coming to life until one day I just sat down and began to write.

Five months later my erotic romance novel 'A Famous Affair' was complete.

I'll admit I was terribly naive at first. I thought yeah I'll write to a few publishers and agents and before I know it, I'll have my book in Waterstones before I can say J K Rowling!...oh how delusional was I?

Of course I was a newborn writer, I wasn't a celebrity and I was lucky if I had a tenner left in my purse at the end of the week. I was a nobody.

So my inflated confidence was quickly deflated at an alarming rate and I was thinking what the hell am I doing?

A friend suggested Wattpad. If I'm honest I didn't like the idea of peeps getting to read my books for free, I mean I had Jimmy Choo shoes and a house by the sea to purchase with the trillion books I was going to sell didn't I?

Nope...Wattpad didn't appeal but I began reading some of the stories on there and was blown away by the gems in the public and very free domain!

As my inner excitement began building so did my ideas. I wanted to write a novella. Once again the story had been plaguing my every thoughts and so I decided yeah let's do this!

A Ride To Desire was written within three weeks and I nervously put it up on Wattpad.

I was like a pig in poo with how excited I was when I realised people were reading it and liking it. I just kept writing and writing and thought to myself let's just see where this takes us.

I met my publisher on there and I am making new friends and nourishing my mind with the words penned by others. Am I famous yet? Am I doing book signings? Am I rich?...that is three very big no's...but you know what?...I'm happy!

That is where I'm up to really. I intend to post weekly if anyone is interested in the words of a writer
trying to find her way in the literary world.

See you next week peeps as I'm off to indulge myself in corsets, candles, long dresses and lingering looks in 'The Paradise'

Enjoy your week ahead xxxx
