It forced me to review how I got to those roadblocks, to ask myself questions, and to think of a course of action. Before I knew it, I had a story that would likely resonate with other writers. I called it <em>Word in (Endless) Progress<\/em> and it was accepted for publication in <a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/fbcw\/docs\/wordworks_2021_volume_ii\/s\/12277591\">WordWorks<\/a>, the magazine of the Federation of British Columbia Writers. Before it was even distributed, I had the solution to my then conundrum. Because I wrote about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After five years of gestation, my memoir has come into its own. <em>It <\/em>is ready to leave me, and I to let <em>it<\/em> go. Hence this website gives it a home. It has been a demanding yet positive journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hesitation and confusion, doubts and doldrums, early-morning and late-night writing, it was a friend at times and foe at others. It&#8217;s a narrative that put me through the mill. There is a reason for that. It\u2019s the story of a friendship but also of a loss. And as a memoir, it wasn\u2019t complete until a cathartic epiphany revealed itself. Because a memoir is the work of introspection, of searching for the unfiltered subconscious truth, and of reckoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More about it soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ah, the power of accountability if only to oneself.
