A writer. Not an author
Two things happened today which crystallized something for me. They may seem unrelated, but they mark a moment of deep satisfaction in my writing journey and inspired me to own my truth.

More than lines on a map
An essay about family, place and a nagging obsession with photography.

In a bid to develop my creative writing, from time-to-time I’ll publish something inspired by The Writing Deck.

Journal
Leaving my hand-print on the wall with occasional diary notes.

Feeling bookish
