Welcome to my website of creative writing.

Humanity continues to be interesting and over this past year I have been enjoying the experience of getting to know new people both personally and from a distance. Observing from a distance enables me to use poetic licence to produce interesting and entertaining stories based on what I see and hear around me, and on what I want from life. 

 

I have been listening to Margaret Atwood a lot lately as she reflects on reading and on writing. Reading is actually a way to put life on hold or to interupt life, and then come out of it feeling refreshed, revitalized, rejuvenated and ready to go forward. The writing process is a lot like that too. Writing is like putting together the puzzle pieces of a story that has many pieces. Eventually the pieces come together and it all makes sense for the writer and for the reader. Life is like that and friendships are too. In March 2020 we were all hit by the deadly COVID-19 virus and that experience has shakened the world.  My commentary gives you a sense of what is on the minds of others during this critical time in our lives.  The new poem entitled: Earth Day Wedding Ceremony, won First Prize in the Ridge Meadows Recycling Society 2020 Poetry Contest.

Thank you for visiting my website. We will weather this storm together, following directives to the letter, and eventually our lives will get better!
