Blog of a newbie writer and her adventures with Sir Cursorlot - my cursor friend and foe.

First time at writing a novel, first time blogging at 51. Bloody hell, this will be interesting.

I am writing under my pen name Amare (pronounced Ar - Mah - Ray) which is latin for my real name.

I am a proud Aussie who lives in Queensland on an acre property with my husband and our 3 beautiful furkids (golden retrievers)
I am a puppy educator for Guide Dogs for the blind and love the sense of achievement when we see one of our amazing pups go on to change the life of a vision impaired person. Raised 6 pups myself before working full time. A very satisfying and rewarding job.

Now I'm trying to achieve something more personal for myself as a writer, a journey and maybe success just for me.

Also working on self belief, self love, building my confidence, self growth and believing I'm worth something. Not an easy task.

So come on a journey with me. Hopefully it will be a fun read from time to time, and it will be bluntly honest.

Know Your Waves

It will come in waves
They will vary in strength
Some will pull you under and hold on tight
Pummel you so you can’t breathe.
Keep you there for endless stretches of
time.
Others won’t let you get back to shore; they will hold you in their rip
But the shore will remain in sight.
Others will sweep your feet out from under you, but let you
rise again fairly quickly
Some waves you will ride to shore, beating back the darkness
that wants to drag you down.
Take those wins
But know, with certainty, that the tide will go out.
The waves will recede, and you will stand strong
upon the sand once more.
