Hello there! My name is Jessica, and I am a twenty two year old self published author. I come from a family of six. My mother is a university lecturer, teaching early years development. My father is a builder. I have two sisters and one brother. My eldest siser, Emma is twenty seven years old and works at Introbiz in Cardiff. My other sister, Hannah is twenty six years old, and currently working in a lab at a cheese factory, and my brother, Dion who is twenty three years old is studying Criminiolgy in university.At the moment, I am working on my ninth novel, which I hope to finish and publish by the end of the year. I’m an accomplished author and book reviewer with three years experience. I am very passionate about literature, creative writing and reading books.In my spare time, I love to be outdoors, going for walks, visiting new places, reading, writing and playing with my two gorgeous cats, Dolly and Pippin. I also enjoy reviewing Korean dramas on my YouTube channel.In about a year or two, I plan to enroll myself in university and study Korean in Korea! I have yet to make up my mind on this matter because I'm a bit of a homebody! So, at the moment, I would like to take some time out from the comfort of my own home and experience a different life independently, and to have time to calmly reflect on my future. To do this, I think spending a year abroad would definitely help me. Through watching Korean dramas and listening to Kpop, I have grown a desire to have first hand experience of Korean life. I am particularly interested in experiencing what living in Korea is like since it offers a cultural context that is undoubtedly different from mine.It's crazy to think that I'm an author. To this day, I still can't get my head around it, but when I write it brings a smile to my face. I might be young and unskilled, but I'm still learning. I want to improve so that I can become a better writer, and inspire other writers to chase their dreams, and write their own stories. I remember a lot of people laughing at me when I said I wanted to write books, and because of that, I was determined to prove to people that I could do it. I never thought I was going to be a writer. It didn't even cross my mind that writing books was something I was ever going to do. When I was sixteen years old, I was studying Performing Arts in college, preparing for a future in acting. It took me two years to realize that acting wasn't something I wanted to do. At the beginning of the course, my heart was set on becoming an actor, but by the third year, I completely lost interest in it. Acting didn't bring a smile to my face anymore. I think at that point, I started asking myself what it is that I enjoyed doing, and I couldn't think of anything other than reading books. (Took me long enough) For the writers :- I believe that everyone can write a story, whether it's a short story or a four hundred page story. The things that our minds come up with is just unbelievable. You are going to have people who either love your book or hate it, but don't let things like that discourage you, because, in the end, you can say that you've written a book. By yourself.
