Writing

I have always written in some form or other – be it an attempted novel at school or pages in my beloved journal regularly. My first foray into writing professionally came when an editorial job turned into a writing one. I loved it and was definitely bitten by the bug! I took a break from writing while my children were young, but have been writing for various publications ever since, including books, magazines, websites and Bible study guides:
