Katherine Krige is a Freelance Writer and accomplished Social Media Manager. She is a graduate of York University with a BA in English, plus is completing several courses towards a Creative Writing Certificate in the Continuing Studies program at Western University.

They also helped her process and heal after the loss of her husband and directly led to writing the grief memoir Riding the Waves.

She currently lives in London, Ontario w

Anyone can be a writer. We all have stories in us that only you can tell. The trick is making the time to put words on the page.

If you can't fit in daily writing sessions, pick a weekly date. Find you keep missing it? Join a writing group to add a hint of accountability to your process. And don't forget to read. Reading other's works helps you grow your own. You pick up vocabulary, grammar tips, and writing styles that you can either incorporate into your own style, or conversely, steer clear of.

Ultimately, just keep at it. It doesn't matter if it spills out of you in a day or takes years to percolate. The more you write, the better you get. I promise you. (less)

Memoirs are difficult things to rate, as they are an individual's life path and as such, are subjective. But Jesse Thistle tells a brutally honest tale that must have held so much healing in the writing of it.

“Being courageous enough to sit with someone who is grieving is a gift that shouldn’t be undervalued.”
Katherine Krige, Riding the Waves: A Memoir of Love, Loss, & Grief

“Year two taught me that I now had time on my side. We weren’t in a race to survive. Life was about slowing down to see the individual ripples and marvel at the beauty in the raindrops and budding flowers spread across my path.

Until another giant wave hits you and you get smashed all over again.”
Katherine Krige, Riding the Waves: A Memoir of Love, Loss, & Grief

“Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there?”
Richard Bach

“One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.”
Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums

“No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.”
Robert Frost

“You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.”
Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of Writing: Releasing the Creative Genius Within You

“Being a writer is a very peculiar sort of a job: it's always you versus a blank sheet of paper (or a blank screen) and quite often the blank piece of paper wins.”
Neil Gaiman
