INTRODUCING KENO

Elsewhere, a Stochastic Brain

Hi, I am Keno and I am a creative writer

Hi, I am Keno, Welcome to my blog. The plan was to write a lifestyle blog, but these compulsive random musings kept getting in the way. In the end, I shut up my inner critic and wrote. Somewhere in the midst are vital life lessons. Elsewhere, a stochastic brain. It’s my world, welcome in.

(The words above make up the introduction to my personal blog, and says everything about my writing. I have expanded this intro below)

Meet Keno

Everyday, mostly in the mornings, thoughts come flying into my head. Whimsical, nonsensical, logical, spiritual — my brain was noisy. So I wrote.

My name is Keno, and my earliest memory of writing was a diary aged 9. Since then, I have filled up hundreds of notebooks with half written drafts. I never had the confidence to hear my words, so never truly found my voice.

Fast forward 40 years, after a career in Digital Products and Marketing, I have returned to my first love. Blowing dust off notebooks, I find a wealth of sentences to share with the world.

My aim to to be authentic, to produce work that is indiscernible from who I am, when all is stripped away. I write non-fiction essays, but I also dabble in fiction and currently working on two stories.

In my spare time, I dance regularly, I love walking, photography and animals, I am single and I love meeting up with friends and dating — hoping to meet a life partner soon.

I blog regularly at www.iamkeno.co.uk/blog and I am the editor at www.tinylifemoments.com, a storytelling platform sharing the tiny moments in life. On the other side of writing, I am a digital product owner passionate about technology solutions and Agile working.

Not yet a wife, mother, author, speaker or other esteemed titles, I define as ‘unfinished.’ The labels and achievements are dust along the way. I dig deeper to the diamond, a fearless failing forward into a world of possibilities as I continuously become.

I am excited to write for Medium Publications, sharing fiction and personal experiences.
