A Guide to Writing.

Last week my book was published. Last week the dream I had while holidaying at Gwythian in Cornwall came true. ' The Mermelf-A Fable for Our Times' took many years to find its form as a verse novella. What have I learned  from that journey? One thing is certain. One's value as a writer is not determined by other people. It begins within. From the small kernel of an idea a field of waving corn can be born. And eventually if and when the time is right you can invite others to come and walk through your about to be harvested field. There may be those who decline your invite. In truth there will be many refusals, some polite, some not so polite, but with patience a visitor will come along who believes in your vision  For me that visitor was Austin Macauley Publishers. I hope this story reaches as many dreamers as possible. As the great Irish poet Yeats once said: “ In dreams begin responsibilities..” And for those of us who are poets and dreamers, the responsibility of dream is the starting point of much poetic venture. Follow your dreams. Believe in yourself.
