I have an uneasy relationship with the word ‘writer’.
In most ways, I suppose I am one. Writing is what I do. It is what I spend my time doing. Writers write. Sometimes people even read – and occasionally pay me for – the things I write.

The writer in me is restless, itchy, in that under-the-skin bassline pulse that has me wildly dancing between nostalgia and a way off in the distance wondering. Change looms somewhere, I can hear her call, that echoing voice singing to me like a siren, especially in the middle of the night, and the early break of dawn. She wants me to run, skip, fall off the side of the cliff; she wants me to stop hiding in the safety of a job I despise and be something real.
