Nothing like a good nose-cleaning to awaken the inner muse and get you writing. I'm a little late to the party but working on the basis of "it's never too late to be what you might have been," thank you George Elliot for the inspo!

A die-hard tea-drinking Brit, I started life as a lawyer in London and Hong Kong, saw the error of my ways, and redirected my talents to helping nonprofits strengthen their communications and fundraising.

Recently, I've been having fun interviewing local "celebrities" for a community magazine here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest of the U.S. while editing and publishing a series of children's books written by my lovely 88-year-old mother. (www.adventuresofhenryfieldmouse.com)

As I turn my attention to my own creative writing, I'm sharing a few thoughts on Medium while working on a zero-draft novel rewrite.

I have a lot to say. Get ready.
