I have lived in New Zealand again. The last stint was 2007 - 2017. Wilma our cat went with my partner Wim and me. She also came back with us, how amazing is that for a cat that was found tiptoeing through the tulips when she was 9 weeks old and only weighed 99 grams...
I am writing a book from Wilma's point of view about our emigration to and from New Zealand. I love writing but have only published a few things in magazines and such. In New Zealand I worked towards a Diploma in creative writing from Whitireia Polytech. I also took part in the IOWA poetry workshop in Wellington. Since I have been back in NL I have taken part in quite a few online poetry workshops of Kevin Higgens.
My next goal is to get my book through it's tedious second draft. And then get it published. This is why I joined Wendy's group. It is fantastic. Very motivating and hugely worthwhile. Now, with all the blogging and marketing and what not, I just want to need to find time to get my book done...
I have my own blog too. it's called Pondering Paws. I'd love you to follow me, and I'd love to follow you back.
