Benefits of reading Meg’s Musings
Meg’s Musings provides an authentic voice on writing, creativity and navigating life. You are welcomed into my (virtual) home where there’s a pot of soup on the stove, a seat at the table and conversation is encouraged.
Meg’s Musings explores:
the writing journey
book chats
the broad spectrum of creativity
making the most of writing retreats
the ups and downs of parenting (three sons who are now beautiful young men)
gardening through the seasons
the nuances of coaching, goal and intention setting
and all the things that life can throw at us like those balls that catch us off guard.
My vulnerability, oversharing and inner workings of my mind are an outreached hand to you as you navigate life.

Who am I?
I live in Melbourne (Naarm) that is the traditional land of the peoples of the Kulin Nations and am forever grateful that I live here in a place where story has been told forever.
I’m an editor, accredited results coach, and a writer and facilitator. I have stories, poems and essays published in a number of anthologies and have a couple of unpublished manuscripts. I run writing retreats in country Victoria as well as virtual retreats and facilitate writing workshops.
I’m also a mum to three young men and a fervent gardener and knitter, and an amateur artist.
