Speaking of literature, you may have noticed that we have started a new feature - the Creative Corner!
This is where we aim to highlight local artistic and cultural talent and give them the recognition they deserve through the publication. So, if you have a poem, short story, comic or another form of creative writing we would love to hear from any and all aspiring artists. Send them to my email at victoria@lifepublishinggroup.com and I will let you know if your work has been selected to be featured in the newspaper.
Creative writing is a passion of mine, and I love experiencing it in all the forms it can take such as theatre, movies, songs, and of course in books. I have even turned my own hand at writing a few stories myself. I love the traditional way of writing by scribbling down my ideas as they pop into my head, or making a note to develop upon later. Sometimes I will even add a little drawing to really get the idea down right.
What's your creative process?
