I thought it would be an interesting challenge to try and write a short story about Ella, and what it was like having an older brother who was ill, and to enter it into this competition. So I did, and it won – £600, which was a lot of money for me at the time, and also the first fee I ever earned as a writer, which was obviously very exciting. At about the same time, I picked up a leaflet for a competition run by The Northern Echo for a short story for young children.
