Grey hairs have got the beat
I've heard it said that you sing the blues best when you're old and grey-haired, because age brings with it a wealth of blues-related stuff: people who have done you wrong, lost loves, moans and groans about life in general - how hard it is, how unfair - and how One Bourbon One Scotch and One Beer (John Lee Hooker's famous song) can cure almost anything.

From personal experience...
... I know that writing can heal.
In 2001, I was told I had breast cancer.
I kept a daily journal while going through it.
The daily practice of showing up to journal helped me cope and get through, as did the writing of my two books.
Since then, as Jane Bissell Writing New Zealand, I have used my experience of trauma, challenge, recovery and achievement, to support others in the writing of their own life journeys.
I can help you write.
My personal life experiences, and proven ability to help others write and publish their stories, makes me an effective, collaborative, and trustworthy partner for your writing project.
