I have worked as a freelance feature writer for over twenty years in a broad range of fields, including health, business, parenting, personal finance, social issues, humour , philosophy and pyschology. This has been driven by an urge to question why we do the things we do. I'm not the accepting sort and suspect that while social norms do sometimes grease the wheels, they often don't enrich us. I've learnt one size doesn't fit all, there are an awful lot of square pegs in round holes and life is subjective because its supposed to be. Its ours. So read some articles and see what you think about whatever topic is up for discussion. Enjoy!
