A Writing Trip

Hi, come on in my friend for a cuppa & chat, you’re always welcome!

Today we’ll be looking at a trip that I’ve been on & I use that word in the following meaning;

Trip – a journey or excursion, especially for pleasure.

But first let’s grab our cuppa’s & get comfy before we continue.

I’m having a Café Latte today with a slice of gf Date loaf, what’s yours?

When it all began 

My writing journey began when I was a child, I had many ‘pen pals’ who I continued to write to into adulthood.

I also loved Creative Writing at school, putting my imagination into words was an exciting exercise & one of my favourite subjects.

However, it was my younger sister who was the first to encourage me to write as an author, she felt that my unique experience needed to be shared with others.

Over the intervening years since that unique experience, which had taken me to different lands & different cultures to share verbally, I had not written it down.

My journey as an author actually began in 2004 after the death of my late husband to Brain cancer with my first book being published in 2007 on the process of grief.

A decade later I felt it was time to share my unique experience, that my sister had encouraged all those years beforehand, in a Vinaigrette which was published in 2017.

But the most joy I’ve received on this writing journey has been from blogging!

In writing to meet with you here my friend.

Did you know that you are a wonderful blessing?

No? Well you are!

Why?

Because I get to converse with you over a cuppa & reflection! What a joy this is!

I love getting to know you as we meet here & interact together.

A stumble in the Journey 

But there has been a little trip up (stumble) recently in this writing journey of mine.

Earlier this year my Digital tablet died, so I had been using my Smart phone with it’s inbuilt keyboard to write.

Unfortunately, this has given me a Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) which I need to rest for awhile.

I’m presently writing this post with my other hand which is slow & laborious.

But I think it’s important for us to keep meeting, so I’ll endeavour to be here each week during this period of recuperation.

Until next time,

Jennifer
