Hey there.
Hi there.
Hello.
Forget the Fountain of Youth... here we have a Fountain of Knowledge. Well. Less of a fountain, more of a leaking tap... but still.
As I embark on my literary journey, I wanted to share with you my thoughts, processes, tips and tricks, and together we can master this wordy world.
First off it's only proper that I should share a little about me. So, here we go with my five fleeting facts.
1. My name is a pseudonym and encompasses the initials of my nearest and dearest.
2. A native of England who now makes her home in Sydney, Australia.
3. I love tea. Tea all day. Tea for President. Earl Grey a favourite for the morning win.
4. I have a love hate relationship with the ocean. Love the sound and the smell. Hate the feel of seaweed on my foot.
5. The extent of my imagination staggers most people.
More will be shared as our journey continues.
I love to write, always have had, and will take any chance I get to go stationery shopping. I blame (thank!) my old man for this addiction, taking me on trips to buy his home office stationery in my youth.
Writing such tiny tales (see links for current works), each word much be meticulously chosen. A whole idea must be conveyed in just 100 words. No more. No less. Each word tells part of the story on its own. Each word is a representation of me, and the character who is the focus of the tale.
The tips, hints and exercises I will share are not just for those who write like me, but for anyone putting pen to paper or keyboard to computer.
Expanding your vocabulary, learning the nuances of language and structuring sentences the right way, benefits all.
So, if you want to write, but fear the page will forever be blank, let’s start together and now. It’s never too late to become a creative, so what are you waiting for?
