IT STARTED IN A HOSPITAL: my writing life

 

I began writing a series of personal essays at the start of the year, under the title 

Journeywork, with underlying conditions: a writing life. 

I have drafts for six of them to hand. They focus on my practice as a writer: how I go about it, how various medical and other conditions affect the work and how my work and my life connect. They include memories, reflections, writing notes, work and life incidents, health and ill-health experiences. 

I will seek to place the essays with periodicals and websites. If they interest people and hang together well, I will consider collecting them for a book.

The first one to be published is with HeadStuff.org
