Noticing the Small Things
I’m an emerging and aging writer, nearly a decade retired from a career in medicine. I graduated from the 2017 Writer’s Studio Certificate Course in Creative Non-Fiction from Simon Fraser University. I’m exploring publication possibilities for my collection of interlinked short stories.
Small and ignored things interest me. I enjoy discovering new ways of thinking about the details of the ordinary, things that we all experience and often take for granted. I’m drawn to how humans adapt to loss and adversity—the events that motivate my characters. I like a good story and am not that fussed about likeable characters or happy endings. I hope I’m learning from some of the spectacular failures I’m making as I explore a writing life.
