From Writing to Murder to Maritime Safety to Cambodia and the Philippines: An eclectic mix

in writing •  6 years ago  (edited)

I'm a writer, from crime novels to screenplays so I'll be writing about writing.

Also, I write about maritime accidents and the hazards of working aboard ships - and since around 90 percent of everything you use, eat or drive reaches you by ship, this affects you, too.

Currently, I live in Cambodia, an amazing country that has inspired some of my writings and I'll tell you about it.

The Philippines? I lived there for 30 years so I've got some stories for you, and if you like Philippine history then I'm your man.

On, and food - a bit of British, French, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Filipino, and other places I've forgotten.

See you soon. You never know what's coming up!beels2.jpg

I lived in Vietnam when I was an English Teacher. Visited Cambodia and liked it. I like to write and travel. You are great. Love the hat. I'm Oatmeal.

Hi, Oatmeal. Yes, Cambodia is a lovely country and 'my' corner of it is Kampot, an historic town and very conducive to writing. I spent 30 years in the Philippines, started a couple of novels but somehow they didn't gel. When I came to Kampot a story came together. The place reminded me of the Alpes Maritime, where I spent a lot of time, hence the French detective, and the French influence remains which makes for another intriguing bit of the environment. I haven't yet been to Vietnam so I don't know if the French influence remains there.

Great response! Loved it! 😀
