Writing, much like navigating the unpredictable waves of Maroubra Beach, is an art form shaped by both challenge and beauty. As a child, I romped on this Australian beach, known for its thunderous waves. “Maroubra,” meaning “like thunder” in Aboriginal, was more than a beach in the 90s.

It was our childhood haven, a sanctuary where the fierce sun and wild waves crafted our spirits and summers alike. At Maroubra, where waves could shift from gentle to dangerous in a heartbeat, we absorbed life’s profound lessons.

One such lesson, vital in both the salty breezes and the realm of writing, was mastering the art of energy conservation — understanding when to resist and when to flow with the current.

This wisdom, forged in the beach’s embrace, echoes in my writing journey. Writing, much like ocean swimming and surfing, demands an intuitive grasp of rhythm and balance.
