I feel I need to recap as I have been absent for a while and feel almost new on the blogging scene.
Its been a very interesting few years in the studious fields of Philosophy and Creative writing ...
I started my writing journey on Steemit in 2015 through my friend 
Its been a long road since then. My passion for writing got stronger so I wrote my first book in 2016, then signed up for a degree in creative writing. It may be considered that perhaps I did that the wrong way round, I do have a habit of over complicating things at times. However I have come to an understanding with my gremlin possessed mind that if I feel the need to write, I write! There and then, no waiting for some kind of authority.
Creativity doesn't work like that.
I have learned a hell of a lot about writing in this time. 1) I still hate editing. 2) My strengths are in first narration fiction- although I am not too bad at poetry and 3) I struggle with confidence in my ability, even though I'm heading for an upper class degree.
So lets fast forward to now - Four years on and I have finished the creative writing part of my degree, but I am yet to finish a final module to complete my BA. I had a choice to add on another field of study and I chose philosophy, much to the horror of close family and friends - I am told I over use the word 'why' and never give it a rest.
Thankfully, I am still married and have friends.
Anyway, why I am returning to blogging? Oh yes ...
On the eve of the final onslaught of assignment posting for this year, I got my first copy writing job.
My first proper paid (external) writing gig ... I wasn't even looking for any work, but it found me, so I am very fortunate. I have also sold more books in the last few months than anticipated, particularly as I haven't done anything to encourage it, and it has given me a kick to finish off more stories! ( I write fiction, although I do have one non-fiction exercise book)
In this time Michelle showed me a link to this site ... so here I am!
As the universe appears to be pushing me into writing, writing and more writing, I have questions for all you wonderful people ...
What can I bring to this wonderful platform? What interests you, what can I write about, and who wants to be my HIVE buddy ?
I want to apologise for filling the news feed with my mug, but I wont. I'm trying to be more brave. I have recruited someone to help me with PR and I know for a fact that he will tell me I have to start putting my face out there and I can tell you that thought fills me with dread. First steps ...
I am interested in philosophy and creative writing (obviously), plant based lifestyles and I am also a colour therapist .
Thank you all ... have a wonderful day and please spread the love in these strange times.
This is me if you haven't gathered
