Hi everyone.
I'm rapidly approaching 39, and live in London, UK.
I have always written, and when I left university back in '92 one of my lecturers told me to always write. I have kept to his word, and have never stopped writing, even through the darkest days of my life.
But I've never taken my talent fully seriously up until now. I'm looking at taking an actual writing course - an evening class. This takes some courage, as I've been very ill with depression and post traumatic stress for some years now, and am just starting to emerge from it's spider web bubble. To actually get *out there* and expose my work to *real people* is a major feat for me.
I've journalled every day since I was 11. I write free verse periodically when the muse takes me. My speciality is Creative Non Fiction though, and I've edited an eZine for a well known online self harm support community for the past year. I wrote many articles for this eZine. I can also create allegorical stories.
Writing is a major part of my healing work.
I look forward to reading other people's work here, and contributing my thoughts and perspective as well as sharing some of my own work.
