The future?

For a number of years I have drifted along not knowing exactly what I wanted to do in my life. It was only in my mid-30’s I discovered my ability and interest in writing; and in my late 30’s I achieved my BA Hons degree through the Open University. I can safely say that studying has saved my sanity. I am still learning new things and attend a workshop for writing, not too far from where I live. This has helped my confidence grow and has been a fantastic way to meet fellow writers and generally having fun. I have made a number of friends too, especially the course tutor – Sue. Its great being able to sit uninterrupted and write something very awe inspiring; or something that is dire tripe – it gets your thought processes working. That is what the whole thing is about.

Back to my point though, I was fortunate to have a coffee with Sue, it lasted over two hours; I think we successfully put the world to rights. During this time Sue came up with the idea of me running my own writing classes/groups for abused women; to help them to come to terms in their own way – with guidance. So I could combine my two passions – writing and domestic abuse together. This is only in its embryo stages, but it has given me something to work towards. Writing has certainly helped me along the way, and if there is an opportunity to help others – I am always there to try and help.
