I live by the Tay where a glorious view of the passing waters gives my monkey mind free rein to relate the world through microscope or telescope. As well as being a member of theNethergate Writers, I\u2019m lucky enough to explore writing with the Wyverns, Writers for Writers, and Dundee\u2019s Open Book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since a very young age, I\u2019ve made up stories and written them down, but after receiving my undergraduate degree in 1979 I thought I needed to live life so that I\u2019d have something to say.That took longer than I expected and I have engaged in such undertakings as marriage and children, organic farming and horse breeding, bookbinding and other forms of art. Eventually, I began to write again more seriously and thought about further education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since gaining an MLitt at University of Dundee in Writing Practice and Study in 2019, writing has been my focus. I\u2019ve been published in Shoreline of Infinity, Dreich Poetry Magazine,<\/em> and in UniVerse Being Human collections and have received some awards and commendations from the Scottish Association of Writers competitions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Writing is my breathing, as well as breathing being my breathing. Injustices and the means to right them draw my attention, and the natural world brings me a joy which I try to share through my writing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I live by the Tay where a glorious view of the passing waters gives my monkey mind free rein to relate the world through microscope or telescope.
