Well, I'm not a software development leader anymore (so I no longer have much use for my LinkedIn account).
In the Canada Writes Facebook group there was a debate recently about who can call themselves a writer and there were opposing views. Anyone who writes, said one group, which seemed to me to be a bit too open. Anyone whose writing has been published, said the other group. (What about self-publishing? said the usual group of what-abouters. Self-publishing is a grey area since there's no selection process or quality control.)
Well, I've had five stories published by reputable literary magazines, with a sixth one on the way. So today, this nineteenth of November in the year twenty twenty-four, I'm putting a stake in the ground: I am a writer.
You can find my writing at my new website, www.LaurenceWrites.com. This blog will continue for occasional musings and diary entries.
