Welcome all to my new writing site. It’s a long time coming.
I’ve been a writer for a long time; I just never called myself that. I was an editor of my newspaper and yearbook as a senior in high school, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth – 1978. I’ve always enjoyed writing things and I’ve always had a story in my head. It lives right next to whatever tune is rattling around at the moment.
I retired from the work that paid my bills in 2021, burnt out by too many Zoom meetings during Covid. Once I had much more free time – and as my life changed in ways I had not expected – I turned to writing as a practice and a meditation.
I started with writing a blog of my travels across the country and the world, which I still keep current at www.huakaiandi.com. The writing made me dust off some creative projects I’d drafted and put aside. This first novel in the Alex Ballintine series is one such project which I’ll talk more about in future posts.
But I’ll being here. This occasional blog will be about writing and the creative process, as well as new projects I’m working on. Welcome to the process and glad you’re here.
