#keyboard warriors

I had always thought that one day I would write a book. Didn’t know if it would be fact or fiction, memoir or fantasy, but I was sure I had ‘a story in me’.

The past year has given me a new perspective on writing and how people can be so cruel with words. Getting published was once the only way to share written word, be it book, newspaper, magazine, private printing, but the internet and social media have made keyboard warriors out of even the most illiterate, narcissistic deviant. It frightens me to see the destruction of the world through what I once thought was an honourable quest.

If I thought that my writing would help or mend some of the pain caused by these terrorists and bullies then I would begin today.

Words can be more harmful than “sticks and stones”
