Happy 10th Birthday to Trevor’s Writing

CONGRATULATIONS.

Goodness, me.

Is it really ten years today since I started this site about writing, reading and books?

Today is the tenth anniversary of Trevor’s Writing. Originally, I started blogging because family members wanted to keep up with what we were doing. This very quickly changed as I saw the potential of such a site very early.

Around the same time I started two other sites, Trevor’s Birding and Trevor’s Travels. I bit off a little too much, but over the intervening years, I have written over a thousand articles on these sites as well. More recently I have maintained and written many articles on our church site here.

I decided that I would use this site as a platform to share my writing, share my ideas about writing, sharing insights from the books I was reading and bringing to my writing my extensive experiences as a primary school teacher. I had retired only a few months earlier. In retirement, I planned to write as close to full-time as I could manage. It had been a dream of mine throughout my life. Now I had the time.

Over the last ten years I have included the following on this site:

  • Poetry, including many haiku
  • Short stories – mainly flash fiction up to about 500 words
  • Reviews of books and films
  • Writing ideas and hints
  • Short story starters to help my readers who are writers
  • Writing prompts to start the ideas rolling for writers
  • Reflections on the writer’s life
  • Personal reflections on attempting and achieving my Master of Arts Creative Writing degree
  • Outlining the process of writing my novel which was the main component of my MA degree. I actually quoted portions of this site in my thesis paper.

How to access articles on this site

Readers of this site can access the articles in a variety of ways:

  • Use the search facility at the top of each page
  • Use the cloud of topics in the sidebar
  • Click on the Archives button at the top of the page and scan through all the articles (now over 1000 of them)
  • Click on one of the items under Contents on the sidebar
  • I also post quite a bit on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter – click on the buttons near the top of each page to follow me.

The Future

What am I planning on this site in the months and years to come? Basically, more of the same. I am also planning to publish a range of eBooks. Stay tuned.

Good writing.

Trevor
