A New Chapter

My Midlife Writing Journey

Welcome to my very first newsletter! I’m so excited to have you here as I step fully into my passion for writing.

For years, I dabbled in writing—journaling, poetry, and reflections—but it wasn’t until now that I truly embraced it. There was always a little voice saying, Is it too late? But I’ve come to realize that creativity doesn’t have an expiration date. Now feels like the perfect time to share my words with the world.

As part of this new chapter, I took a big step and entered a short fiction writing contest! The submission deadline is March 31, 2025, so I’ll be waiting (im)patiently for the results after that. No matter the outcome, I’m proud of myself for putting my work out there—it’s a milestone worth celebrating.

I’ll keep you updated!

In the meantime, I’m diving into my current projects. I’ve started my blog, where I explore my journey as a writer, and I’m also working on my poetry collection, Resonance. Plus, I’m developing pieces that reflect on my personal growth, including my experience with the OA Steps and Traditions, and my “fictional autobiography” exploring the wild side of myself. Writing has become both a creative outlet and a form of self-discovery, and I’m eager to share more with you.

Thank you for being here and for supporting this journey. You can follow me on Facebook and Instagram!

Until next time,
Amy
