About Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist

I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.

      Yes return to WP I find the other too difficult to negotiate. Jennifer I’d like to nominate you for a writers blog hop with you posting on 11th August.It involves composing a one-time post which is posted on Monday 11th Aug (date will be given to you from whoever passes on the tour)
      What am I working on?
      How does my work differ from others of its genre?
      Why do I write/create what I do?
      How does your writing/creating process work?
      Answer four questions about our creative process which lets other bloggers and visitors know what inspires us to do what we do.
      Then pass the tour on to up to four other bloggers. Get their permission first and give them rules and specific Monday they are to post.
      Hope you’ll do it. Cheers Irene
