Writers Unblocked Magazine Volume 1/ Number 1

INTRODUCTION
It all started as a series of in-person and later online rendezvous for the
Writing Circle, where members were gently encouraged to bring pen to
paper and share in the common joys of writing. The endeavour has since
organically evolved into inspiring one another, celebrating publishing
successes, sharing best practices and aspirations, and setting
achievable goals.
‘Writers Unblocked’ is a testimony to an array of writing styles, allowing
contributors and readers the freedom to engage and dabble in their
choice of literary work. This specially curated inaugural publication
features the diverse and distinct flavours from our members’ writing
desks, be it poetry, fiction, narration, musings and more. We are
delighted to share our first collaborative foray and hope you will enjoy it
as much as we have in compiling it!
We are grateful to the Centennial Libraries leadership for their initial
and on-going support of the Writer’s Circle that has led to where we are
today. A special and heartfelt thank you to Gosha Trzaski, who has been
the administrative cornerstone of this effort. Gosha’s support, counsel,
suggestions and efforts have been invaluable in bringing this publication
to reality. Without her assistance, this would remain an aspiration.
