Ian Gouge - Writing until the light goes out
I am an author, poet, creative writing mentor, and sometime Indie Publisher. Writing until the light goes out is dedicated to sharing my writing journey with you. It is where I post original work, my thoughts about writing, and attempt to engage with like-minded creatives.
I’m fascinated by how people relate to their histories, the decisions they take, the relationships they have. Our past informs our present and steers our future - whether we like it or not.
”When you see anything of mine that you don’t like, remember that I’m sincere in doing it and that I’m working toward something” - Ernest Hemingway
