I came into writing a roundabout way. I fell in love with story-telling in movies and video games. Having no ability or access to those mediums, I asked Grandma for a notebook and pen. But I didn't enjoy reading until much later, when an inspirational teacher taught me books can be fun. I think Gulliver's Travels inspired me most with it's biting satire. By the way, some original fiction by yours truly will be posted tomorrow for anyone interested.
If you liked Atonement my McEwan you absolutely have to give Saturday by him a go. It’s my favourite McEwan novel, it is a microscopic deep dive into one day in the life of a surgeon. The level of research that McEwan went to for this book is phenomenal. It is so worth your time.
Love this! Ty so much!
Dreaming is important. Dreams create hope. Hope creates possibilities.🩷
So great to read origin stories of writers and discover their work! Thanks, Gayla and Brooke!
Thanks for featuring this talented author. I already subscribe to Brooke’s Substack and need to read her books, they sound wonderful!

I'm always at a loss how you manage to explore so much writing goodness Gayla! It was fun to read Brooke's origin story.
Nice meeting you Brooke. Thanks Gayla.
