To write or not to write, that is the question.

What do you enjoy most about writing?

I believe my first piece of writing that received any recognition was in a competition at primary school for the RSPCA. ( animal charity). I won first prize and a book and was awarded the prize at a local hotel. The book was ‘School under Snowdon’ and I remember it almost 65 year’s later.

After that my essays at school were written with imagination and with a desire to always get a special mention from the teacher.

Life intervened in the following years and it was only on returning to education and a university degree that I was able to get many thoughts and ideas on paper.

Again life intervened and roll onto 2015 when I wrote a piece for a local website. It turned out to be well received and started off my love for writing again.

I wrote for various organisations until I started my own site. I loved being able to challenge local issues and eventually did a stint as a community journalist at View digital, managing to publicise an issue re changing facilities for the disabled which resulted in the government taking action.

I find it hard to compete against the large number of blogging sites on the internet but if only one person reads what I write I’m happy ( well not really) but ..

I love writing and I know my daily diary on Facebook gets quite a lot of views even if it’s only the musings of an old lady.
