A new thing I am doing is trying.
I have wanted to “be a writer” my whole life, since I was a kid. I have done it, in some form or other, in those ensuing years. Blogging, newspaper articles, social media content, et cetera, et cetera.
But what I really, really want, is to be a poet, and to be a writer of novels.
There have been a lot of reasons (some of them just excuses, some of them legit) why I haven’t put a lot of energy towards these dreams. But the time feels right.
So. Here in this home of mine on the internet, I am going to start sharing some of my older writing, and also to create some new writing. Here’s a start: a poem I wrote last year and which was published in ‘Magine last summer.
And here’s to seeing what this might become. One step, then another.
