When I began writing I had no idea of the journey it would take me on. I don’t mean to the finishing line ie a publishing deal which continues to drift into the horizon but more the huge personal development it has provided me.
I have met the most unique characters from the initial Arvon Foundation course in Scotland to the Gibraltar writer’s circle to which I now belong. From mad academics and serious fiction authors to the inspiring gay writers from around the world. I have learned to watch and to listen with new skills and more importantly, how to navigate my way through a much deeper personal experience of life than I ever thought would come my way, certainly not in my forties.
Oh, and that I can’t seem to string a sentence together properly! As for punctuation, you can forget it.

I have had the privilege recently of having my manuscript reviewed by Alison Hennessy, a senior editor with Random House on behalf of Cornerstones, the Lit consultants I have been working with in London over the last two years. There’s more to do it seems but I continue to enjoy every frustrating and liberating moment of it, so I thought I’d let you all know. I have an understanding of late of what an artist must feel when he steps back from his unfinished canvass and sighs at the simple pleasure of his creation before re-working it, again.
So under the Andalusian sun I will remain, until I get it write/?!.”..”.@”,/??
