My Welsh Mountain pony, Twilight, started me on my journey as a writer. I remember how excited I was the day my Dad brought her home. I couldn't believe her softness, her smell, her beautiful dappled coat and that she was really mine to ride. So I wrote a poem about her. It was printed in the school magazine and I became a published author.
I love this photo of Twilight on our farm near Mullumbimby |
Twilight isn't with us any more, but her memory and inspiration survives.
What inspired you to start writing ?
Funnily the first poem I remember writing was about my childhood dog Pippin. I can remember every singe verse (and it's a really long poem!)
