That’s wonderful, Sarah. I was so happy to read your message; it really touched me personally. All I can say is that you’ve come home, back to your roots. Don’t be ashamed of your roots; they are a part of who you are. A name is just a name; it doesn’t define you at all. What you do here is what defines you. You are a wonderful person and a fantastic writer, and I really enjoy reading your work. Thank You, Ziv.

Thank you!

I actually changed my surname legally several years ago after my mother died. I wanted the Polish family name to continue and it was worth hearing all the mispronunciations!

I’ve agonised over a new name for my account here but in the end couldn’t think of anything that would encapsulate everything I write about, so decided to go down the grown up route and use my actual name (like a real writer!)

Yes, I’m really wanting to focus on my writing and have decided to sort myself out here on Substack - it feels like I’m not using it to its full potential so would combine educating myself with a bit of an update :)
