Autorenporträt
My writing life is like a rainbow cake - layer upon layer. The first layer was compiling the church news-letter. It was illustrated, and newsy. No church news-letter was ever like it. Then came the journalistic layer. Great heights were reached with an article in the Women's Weekly and working as a journalist for the local newspaper, The Transcontinental. There were farming and gardening magazines included in that layer. The biography layer came next. Three biographies were self-published. Several other short biographies written. It is so interesting and necessary to record people's stories for history's sake. Like cream between the layers I practised the art of short story writing. The present layer is blogging. I have a blog site and it covers my writing life from short stories, journalistic articles, photography, and anything that demands to be written and read. I love this writing life.
