Since I was very young I always loved reading books and watching cartoons and eventually began writing and drawing. I never imagined that my love would eventually become my profession, and I am so grateful that it happened that way. I began to study with the Writersbureau in Manchester, where my writing abilities expanded into writing my own autobiography, painting, design and sketching. I am now a freelance writer & artist, which gives me more time to work on my own art. Because of the freedom of freelancing, my creative life today is much more interesting since the diversity of the work is so great. Please feel free to read my autobiography, 'While Grass Grows 'written by Nicola Jane Storm.
