Welcome to my website of creative writing.

Humanity continues to be interesting and over this past year, our COVID-19 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. Our COVID pandemic has given me new opportunities to look at things and people from a different distance and to discover new passions.

 

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.  

That realization has caused me to renew my interest in the complex world of Poetry. I was gifted Margaret Atwood's newest poetry book entitled DEARLY. I set it aside and heard my inner voice say: oh groan, poetry! Then my COVID-era voice kicked in and my two newest postings (one in Poetry and one in Commentary) resulted.  

Thank you for visiting my website. At some point this past year (and this year) will become a REMEMBER WHEN year, as other huge events have ... stay strong, unload the thoughts as we all work to CHANGE GEARS in how we live our lives with truth, trust and honesty for ourselves and for others.
