The beginning of my writing journey...

Hi everyone. I am at the beginning of my writing journey that began many years ago. Sounds contradictory? It is. It really boils down to this... I have always loved reading and coming up with stories to tell. Problem was I was very shy and I did not have much confidence as a child. I had my children young, and loved reading to them and making up stories to tell them. Now that they are grown up and my circumstances have changed, I now have the time, and gaining confidence, to start taking my writing seriously. 


I have written a few stories for young children and have won some local competitions with them. My friends and I have formed our own writer's group to support and encourage each other on our writing journey. I am currently pursuing two avenues of publishing my stories. I am submitting various stories to traditional publishers. I am also looking at self-publishing Raymund and the Fear Monster with a friend of mine who is an amazing illustrator. At this time it is all on a limited budget. I think that this helps me get creative in my approach. I hope to share my writing and publishing journey with you.
