Above all else, this is the story of a journey.

Above all else, this is the story of a journey. Over the last thirty-seven years or so, across a number of hand-written books, I have been keeping what might be termed a record; although on reflection, even the word 'record' is something of a misnomer. Relating to my ambition 'to be a Writer', the notebooks offer a compendium of thoughts, ideas, plans, ruminations, decisions (needed, taken, and not taken), aspirations, failings and disappointments. And the occasional success! Their contents also represent a quest for that which always seemed just within reach - but more often than not remained entirely elusive. "A scatter-gun trespassing on literary dirty-washing."
Autorenporträt

Our past informs our present and steers our future - whether we like it or not.Of course these days it can be hard to be 'just one thing', especially if your experience covers multiple writing-related genres and interests. And therefore - in order to be true to myself and honest with you - I also need to confess that I am a sometime poet, creative writing mentor, and Indie Publisher.You can find me at iangouge.substack.com
