Blog of a newbie writer and her adventures with Sir Cursorlot - my cursor friend and foe. |

First time at writing a novel, first time blogging at 51. Bloody hell, this will be interesting. I am writing under my pen name Amare (pronounced Ar - Mah - Ray) which is latin for my real name. I am a proud Aussie who lives in Queensland on an acre property with my husband and our 3 beautiful furkids (golden retrievers) I am a puppy educator for Guide Dogs for the blind and love the sense of achievement when we see one of our amazing pups go on to change the life of a vision impaired person. Raised 6 pups myself before working full time. A very satisfying and rewarding job. Now I'm trying to achieve something more personal for myself as a writer, a journey and maybe success just for me. Also working on self belief, self love, building my confidence, self growth and believing I'm worth something. Not an easy task. So come on a journey with me. Hopefully it will be a fun read from time to time, and it will be bluntly honest. |
| SOOOO For those who read my blogs, you will know that I have been struggling with writer's block for a few weeks now. And as far as my novel draft goes for More Than A Journey Home, that still is the case. However, my muse has stepped up. And really, I'm not surprised. My golden girl, who is the love of my life, who came and saved me from the brink, is doing it again. And in her stories —our stories —she will help me continue to write, to learn about putting words to the page, and hopefully have readers enjoying our tales together. The thing is, the tales are non-fiction. They happened, are still happening, and in a way, this will be my dedication to her. To all that she brought to my life, and still does today. I have no idea how long I have left with her. She is heading towards 15 years old, and every single day is such a gift. She is now my senior to take care of, and I couldn't think of anything more I would want to do. If you do want to follow along, in my profile, there is a folder, My Life, My Love, My Saviour - My Bindi Lyn. And the first two entries #2349745 and #2349687. Anyway, I think, I hope, we'll see if my writing curse has been broken. |
