I chose to work and study in areas where my writings would be useful and critiqued. The not-for-profit sector, correspondence schools, university studies provided me with lots of material to write about. In 2010 I completed an Open Polytechnic Certificate Course in Web Design and Writing. 2012 Creative Writing. I claim to have learned a bit, written a bit, taught a bit and contributed a bit. Retirement offers the freedom to do things you never had time to do!
