About me & my Journey
EMERGINGAt the age of five, when I could spell and form sentences, my favorite writing slates were Hallmark cards marked “Blank Inside”. Here I could write from my own heart to family members and friends using words and sentiments I chose, not those from an unknown author.
College years had me daydreaming about becoming a food critic, traveling the world eating tasty food and publishing my reviews weekly in the New York Times. I loved to eat and I loved to write, could there be a better marriage? A lack of confidence sabotaged all moves toward that public writing career, but it did not stop my writing. Journaling became my favorite past time as I wrote, privately trying to either sort out emotional anguish, or languish in joy and gratitude.
JENNIFER N. WONG
BEST SELLING AUTHOR
Years into a “non-writing” career, juggling the demands of motherhood, I gave my love of writing a little attention and took an extension course at UCI called “Stoking the Flame”.
Inspiration and hope bubbled up like carbonation and I announced to my colleagues I would be leaving the industry to become an author. Again, my lack of confidence kicked the dream to the curb. Apparently, I preferred to suffer the shame of being a flake, rather than building the courage to give my writing career a shot.
For the next 20 years I continued with technical writing in my “non-writing” career and wrote numerous essays submitted to online magazines for publication. Arriving at the big 5-0, the pandemic reared its ugly head. The combination of unending isolation and the death of two loved ones from the virus, took me inward searching for my life purpose. What could I contribute?
It was clear I needed to write. With the encouragement of a longtime friend who loves my stories, I completed my first short story. It shifted something and I was moved to share my writing on Facebook and Instagram.
