My name is Jeremy and I am just starting a blog. I am very fond of communication, enjoy reading, love writing and am very interested in people. I also have a passion to travel. (The photo is taken from a recent trip to Cyprus) My aim is to try and live life to the full and fulfill my potential.
I know the title of the blog 'My Journey' sounds very cliched. But I suppose I have to start somewhere and I hope that my individuality develops as time progresses. Today I have done quite a lot of reading inc. Chekhov, Raymond Carver and JI Packer, the first two are very interrelated as Carver admitted owing a great debt to Chekhov. I was introduced to Carver as a short story writer at University and greatly admired his ability to provoke thought using an economy of words. He had a great ability with a turn of phrase to create a response in the reader as well as a good grasp of common speech patterns. I am aware that I might be sounding pretentious here so I won't follow this particular train of thought any further at the present time.
