I love writing. I’ve always written. At age six I composed poetry and later submitted for the school magazine. I once wrote a pantomime for a dance company. I contributed a terrible sketch for a revue, devised a stage adaptation of the lives of Gilbert & Sullivan through their music and edited a musical society newsletter. I wrote a column in an antique magazine about funny things that happened on the way to the antique fair, and another about the antique markets of London. I reviewed art exhibitions and edited a motor magazine. Stuff like that. But
I’ve only become purposeful about my writing recently. I’m now
writing travel articles and memoirs, plus fiction novels - a serious
challenge but one from which I'm deriving a great deal of pleasure.
Learning "the trade" is an amazing journey, during which I’ve met some
wonderful fellow travellers. I’m a bit of a doer and a goer and I take
my notebook with me, so I write a great deal of what I see and smell
and taste and experience. I’m not a great talker, but I’m a great
observer. Please contact me here. I enjoy comments and discussion. Me on a Harley. Go girl.
