Have you heard of a happy accident? I have worked in customer service all my life, and if you are like me, you live from paycheque to paycheque and your only concern is to pay your bills on time while dreaming about perhaps owning your own home or having a cottage in the country somewhere. My journey as a writer began quite simple; I came from a broken home without my mother or father there to guide me and with no guidance structure or foundation. I got into fights many times in high school. Back then, if you dared to challenge me or say a word that I felt was beneath me, then I would become an angry little girl who had no real idea as to why she was angry. As I think back about those days, I was a lost girl who tried to find a place with a sense of belonging and where she was needed. I’m the only girl of three older brothers, and when we moved to Canada, I was eleven years old. I jumped from job to job because I didn’t like people always hovering over me or feeling as if they needed to tell me how to do my job. I started few companies, such as JJ Jewelry; which made costume jewelry, Brown Sugar Catering; which catered to the rich, and Juche Gift Baskets. I have even tried my hands on modeling and had my legs in the Toronto Star for two days, along with doing a rock video with Wild T & The Spirit. I also posed for a time with a famous artist and posed nude for Ryerson University’s art class. Finally, I ended up working for a major bank, and I stayed with them because of their great insurance coverage. This was where my writing came to life. During that time, I had kept a diary, and over the years, a colleague had always approached me wanting to know why I was sitting by myself and what I was writing. I said, “stuff” to her, and she asked, “Can I see?” As I think to myself, it was clear that I wanted to be alone and enjoyed my own company, but because I was always the curious type, I indulged with Dragana. This went on for a few years, and then one day Dragana said, “Judith, this is so good. You should think about publishing it.” but I just said, “Nah, I just get stuff off of my chest.” When I write, its mostly in the form of poetry. I guess I want to dress up a bad situation with frills and bows. In December of 2018, I bought a new computer as my old one got a virus. A lesson learned; do not let any stranger use your computer. As fate would have it, I got sick after that and took four days off. One night, I could not sleep, so I turned on my computer, sat down, and began to write. I was convinced that I had not written a masterpiece, and somehow, during the night, I had an out-of-body experience. It took four days for me to write “Illusions” while I was drugged up on medication and suffered from a lack of sleep. I fell asleep with my computer, woke up the next day, and when read over what I had written, I began to cry. With having only a high school level education, I doubted that I could write anything readable, let alone nine books. So the lesson here is that as long as you can dream, you can achieve anything! When you’re done fighting the world and everyone is your enemy, stop, come up for air, breathe, and ask yourself, “There ought to be better things in life than this!” By doing this, you begin to listen and want the best for yourself. Therefore, when I stopped being angry at the world, I began to write. So, here I am, with nine books by, July 25th, 2020. I am working on a book titled, “Dating in the Electric Age”, along with a book of poetry called, “Flow” and my third book; final chapter of Curse of the Time Witch called, “Alienelfskin”.
