WelcomeWriting is a passion of mine. I write for escape, meditation, healing, venting, professional needs and enjoyment. An avid reader with a penchant for historical works and texts, I lean towards non-fiction and creative non-fiction works and historical fiction when I select something to curl up with on the couch. Real life is far more fascinating, terrifying, amusing, chilling, painful, educational and thrilling than fantasy. Anything a fiction writer creates is inspired by what is happening in the world around them. There are no original thoughts, after all.
Although I consider myself techno savvy, I am old school in my literary endeavours. I love reading physical books and putting pen to paper. There is something magical and therapeutic about feeling the pages of a book between my fingers and hearing that whoosh of a page turning. When I write the transcendental nature of the words flowing from my mind and soul through my hand and onto the page just cannot be replicated when I sit at a keyboard and stare at that blank screen before me. The most skillfully crafted and powerful novels I have read lately is A Complicated Kindness by Miriam Toews. After reading her essay that served as a kind of epilogue, I realized that this novel had many elements of creative non-fiction. Her skill with the written word was mesmerizing and inspirational. Quality literature is still being written by dedicated, trained, hard working writers like Miriam. This website will serve as a medium through which I can share what I am reading and my responses to those works. Above all, this will be a place for me to express myself in the written word and share it with you. I will share my personal writings past, present and future. I will share my journey, challenges and process with you. You are welcome to contact me using the form on my contact me page, and give me feedback when you are moved in any way. Thank you for reading! |
