My words. My images
A writer. Not an author
Two things happened today which crystallized something for me. They may seem unrelated, but they mark a moment of deep satisfaction in my writing journey and inspired me to own my truth.
A modest life
A poem inspired by too much time looking at LinkedIn
More than lines on a map
An essay about family, place and a nagging obsession with photography.
Prompted
In a bid to develop my creative writing, from time-to-time I’ll publish something inspired by The Writing Deck.
What next?
I've never read Franz Kafka's novel, Metamorphosis, so I have no idea what happened to his monstrous vermin. Here's what I did with his opening sentence.
Masterclass
A passage about betrayal in a style inspired by Mary Shelley.
Cut to the chase
This image prompted me to write about what's absent. There are eight lanes, but only seven runners crossing the finish line.
Viewfinder
I could have just described the view. But surely what we see is shaped by perspective? I added some context to give the imagery more meaning.

Journal
Leaving my hand-print on the wall with occasional diary notes.
Feeling bookish
Comfort buying in times of crisis. Reflections on a shopping expedition that resulted in more unnecessary books.
Honey tongued
Another episode where the writer descends to cranky commentary on social media to make a point (or possibly just vent frustration).
Bridge views
How jet lag took me on an unexpected adventure across the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City
