I used to love to write. Growing up, if I wasn't reading other people's stories, I was writing my own. I even studied Creative Writing at Bath Spa University, in the hopes of one day becoming a novelist. But life - and work - took over. I got a job as a Copy Editor in a corporate company, and my creative endeavors got pushed to one side. Writing became a job, not a pleasure. Then, in 2019, I turned 40. This milestone made me decide to write a list - 40 things to do when turning 40. Two of these tasks were to write a novel and create a blog. So not at all ambitious then! A few months later, there was still no novel and no blog, until I came across an advert for a Writer's Retreat run by the amazing Bex Band and Emma Rosen. The retreat was a revelation! I started my novel, wrote a short story, and here is my blog! I plan to share pieces of writing as I re-learn my craft, articles and quotes that inspire me, and interesting research I uncover as I plan my novel. And anything else that tickles my fancy! So welcome to my blog - I hope you'll join me on my journey back to being a Writer.
