This best-selling author was once homeless and has explained how easily it can happen

“I left school at sixteen with a head full of rocks, a general dislike towards anyone telling me what to do and a belief none of it mattered: because one day I would write the greatest book in the world,” writes Craig Stone.

Stone, like most writers, dreamed of writing the next great anthology. And Stone, like most writers, was pretty poor as he waited to do that. He found himself working in a normal job, in a normal flat until one day his rent increased. Unable to secure the monthly payments, Stone became homeless and lived in a park with a notepad and pen. There he finally wrote what he believed to be the greatest book in the world. Stone has taken to Twitter to explain how easily his homelessness occurred. https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795108148416516 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795108790149120 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795109465378816 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795110182653952 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795110870519808 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795111856185344 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795112455913472 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795112984420352 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795113613565952 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795114259529728 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795115186618368 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795116163690499 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795117107380224 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795118407630848 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795119217156097 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795119787610112 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795120433483776 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795120974544896 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795121553424384 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795122228645889 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795122874576898 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795123461820417 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795124145438720 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795125097549824 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795125810589699 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795126636883968 https://twitter.com/craigstone_/status/801795127366684672 Stone’s second book, Life Knocks was shortlisted for the Dundee International Book Prize.
