When I started this Blogger site, it was twelve or thirteen years ago, and I was trying to find employment after being made redundant from BAE Systems in Dartmouth.
I wanted to create an online CV, and I quickly found this wasn't the best platform to do this. It remained dormant for several years until we were living in East Devon. It was living in East Devon that reignited my desire to write. I had started a writing course while we were living in South Devon, and although my work for that slowed and petered out, being in East Devon and the pandemic spurred me to pitch to magazine editors. Having had some success, I joined Ottery Writers, and this was to see the start of regular blogging alongside writing my first novel.
I now have the first draft of the novel finished and 101 blog pieces under my belt. Add to the mix my pieces for Substack; my writing career is certainly getting busy.
This is a short piece to mark these milestones. We should be back to normal for the weekend.
Thanks for reading these pieces and for your continued words of encouragement and support.
