The Weight of Glory – C. S. Lewis (1980)
This, to all intent and purpose seen to be how I view my life. I trained as a nurse but never used that skill for anything, I eloped to Amsterdam but even though I had security I gave it all up to return to the UK where I had nothing, and I made a career within HMCE but even then, I flitted about various units never really finding one to settle in. I gave it all up and went to university, and on to do a teaching certificate specialising in Adult learners with disabilities but then never really did any teaching and now I am a freelance writer that dabbles at running creative writing classes and groups … and does the odd bit of writing, enters a few competitions, and strives (not too convincingly) to get published.
Jack-of-many-trades … that’s me, but have definitely never truly mastered any of them.
