Beginner’s Pluck

Rebecca Reid

When Rebecca was fourteen she contracted ME, and was home from school.

“I couldn’t sleep at night, and all I could do was write. I wrote loads of stories, and when I was 16, and had a tutor, she suggested I send them in to a newspaper. The Spectator in Bangor gave me a page each week to write for teenagers. I did that until I was 18, then gave up because I was modelling.
