And so I write...

When I first started this blog in May 2011, I was pretty sure I wouldn't post anything else again. But now, as though I have been given permission to, I’m writing!

My current blog is called "Memories Unearthed" - http://memoriesunearthed.blogspot.com/ - and it's growing to be a collection of short stories based on true events that have taken place in my life. I have altered the names and a few minor details, but in essence, these are events and feelings that have been etched into my memory and are being revealed, one post at a time. An excerpt from one of my favourite books, Cat’s Eye by Margaret Atwood sums it up nicely:

“...I began then to think of time as having a shape, something you could see, like a series of transparencies, one laid on top of another. You don’t look back along time, but down through it, like water. Sometimes this comes to the surface, sometimes that, sometimes nothing. Nothing goes away.”

And so it has begun – I have no idea how long it will last. I don’t know how many stories I will post. But I do know that I enjoy it more than most things in my life at the moment and so even if only for the escapism, I hope that I continue to write.
