Ian Gouge - Writing until the light goes out

About 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 [Some of this material was previously published under my now defunct ”walking thru’ fire” podcast.]

   Welshman - a short story

   ‘Secrets & Wisdom’ started life in 2016 as a project with a specific design. The idea was to write a series of short stories, each based on one of the traditional Olympian Gods and on one or more of their individual characteristics. In addition, each story would contain within it either a ‘secret’ held close by the protagonist, or the demonstration – or otherwise! – of ‘wisdom’ / self-knowledge in some form or other. Over time, as the original project progressed, the reworking of some additional material – both modern and ancient – appeared to lend itself to the general theme, and so the notion was born to expand the brief of ‘Secrets & Wisdom’ and to create a slightly wider and more eclectic collection of short stories. From the original project, “Angela”, “Anne”, “Hester”, “Hobart” and “Westminster” have made it into this volume (the remaining seven Gods currently lie dormant until they are awoken at some point in the future!).
