Because Substack said…

And I listened…

When my author friend, Sheryl Parbhoo, started her newsletter I was intrigued. I had not heard of Substack before. Fast forward a year about six months, here I am. And… Substack said I should create my first post…

I want a place to share my stories, musings, poems; and to read those of other’s. I researched other platforms but came back to this one.

My love of writing began in my childhood where I wrote everything from fairytales, plays, radio dramas, poetry, and even recipes. I was a very curious child who often asked, “Why?”, “What if?”, and started many sentences with, “Imagine…”

As an only child, I had to entertain myself and my many invisible friends! My absolute favourite times was when my cousin, Jason, came to visit during school holidays, or when I went to visit him. We would spend days immersed in eachother’s worlds of make-believe.

My first career was as a reporter. I enjoyed the thrill of chasing stories and meeting deadlines. I wonder where I’d be now if I hadn’t stopped writing then. But that is a very long story for another day.

I have several ideas for this space. This is where I will share some of my writing.

And another idea will involve you, the reader…

For now, thank you for being here. Please comment and let me know what type of stories you enjoy, and why you have stuck around to read this so far.
