Writerly Connections

About Me

I am a Toronto native, born and raised in a northwest suburb of the city. My writerly aspirations emerged as a young child and my love and passion for writing consumed me from adolescence to early adulthood. Writing became a form of escapism for me and a therapeutic way to express my emotions. As I navigated early adulthood, searching for my place in the corporate world, writing became a hobby that I indulged in only during rare moments of inspiration.

After spending more than 20 years working in office environments and three different industries, often feeling like a square peg trying to fit into a round hole, an opportunity to start anew and pursue my passion for writing rekindled my relationship with words.

Although my life may not be considered extraordinary, it has been filled with enlightening experiences. I have experienced both highs and lows and have learned that good times are just as fleeting as bad times. Whether it’s a story in a book, a lyric in a song, or a post on a webpage, the right words always find their way to me and reaffirm that I am not alone. My perseverance is a testament to my strength of character, ability to heal, and sense of purpose.

The Write Journey

Writing is a wonderful art that allows us to express our deepest thoughts and unique perspectives. It provides a powerful medium to weave words into captivating narratives that can ignite the imagination, spark meaningful conversations, and connect like-minded people.

Many writers may experience moments of self-doubt and uncertainty when embarking on this journey. It’s natural for a writer to question whether their words will hold any significance and resonate with others, or fade away into obscurity. However, as a writer delves deeper into the craft, they begin to realize that their words are valuable and have the potential to connect with others on a profound level. It is essential to embrace one’s unique voice and story, to write from the heart and to be true to oneself, to create a lasting impact with one’s writing.

The Written Voice

Writing is a powerful tool to express ourselves beyond the limitations of spoken language. By putting our thoughts on paper or typing them on a screen, we can explore our emotions and share our joys, sorrows, passions, and dreams. The written voice has a unique ability to connect people from different backgrounds, cultures, and generations, bringing them together in a world that often feels disconnected.

When we write, we use words that resonate with others and help us find common ground, empathy, and understanding. We can capture the essence of the human experience and navigate the complexities of life together. Writing helps us transcend barriers and build connections that enrich our lives.

My Goals

My primary goal in writing is to ensure that my words are always honest and genuine. I believe that words have little value if they lack authenticity. Secondly, I aim to produce fresh content on a variety of topics, with a particular emphasis on those that appeal to human interest, twice per month. Lastly, I am committed to interacting with my readers and encouraging them to leave comments or provide feedback on my posts.

Dear readers, let’s embark on an exciting journey together, driven by our shared love for words and connecting with others. We will discover the engaging power of writing and the profound influence it can have on our lives as well as the lives of those around us.
