Testing. Testing. 1.2.3. Hi!
If you’ve found this page – phew. I will keep this introduction brief and bring the juice with the following posts. My name is Kerry, I have been an ‘aspiring writer’ since I was about 12 I think. When I was 25 I took a degree in English Lit’ and Creative writing to push that dream forward. I graduated, got a few articles published in magazines and kept writing in my notebook dreaming big. At 30 I got pregnant with my first baby and promised my closest friends I would use any quiet time to write. that. novel…. And I did, but I just never finished. The second baby came and life passed, you know the story.
My children are now both in school, and it’s now or never. I am back in university to do my Masters degree in Creative Writing with the sole intention to finally crack the actually publication and finishing part. It is my intention that in 12 months time I will have my first play staged, my first anthology of short stories and poems published and my first novel also ready for publication – I know right? Are you ready to join me?
Let me close by writing, I have followed the magazine tips, entered competitions sporadically, bought the Writers and Artist Year Book each year – still the information is an ocean. I had started to feel like a small and very lost fish in a very large pong where everyone is telling me that what I am searching for is illusive, only available to a lucky phew. I no longer wish to accept this response. I hope you won’t too….Are you ready to dream big with me?
