This Writing Journey

Yesterday I had a long chat with a fellow self publisher about the journey we have been on in getting our books out there and we both agreed whilst it is a steep learning curve and a bit of a roller coaster ride it is well worth it to hold that finished product in your hand.

My whole writing journey has been like that and when I think of the incredible opportunities it has given me, the people I have met and the different directions it has taken me I don't regret a single aspect of it.

From writing I have connected, both online and personally, with other writers and people from all over Australia and even overseas; I have attended conferences with top Australian authors and had coffee and chatted with authors who have been my idols; I have expanded from writing freelance articles to self publishing a book to editing and then publishing a magazine; I've shared highs and lows of this writing life with other writers; I have been able to build a collection of wonderful books personally by talented authors that I am proud to call my friends.

The list could go on and on but the bottom line is that for every hill I've slid down, I've been able to climb a mountain on the other side and see an incredible view.

So to every single person who has supported, encouraged and cheered me along this writing journey thank you.
