Introduction.

Hello, My name is Brian Anthony Cumberlidge. I am 41 years old. I have been creating content on Medium since January 2020. Before that, I was a complete novice and I have taught myself from scratch how to use a Laptop & Social Media.

I was very ignorant in regards to technology. Now I have embraced everything that I have learned. I spent over a year on blogger.com on my little blog “The Real-life of Brian”. Gradually gaining a little insight into writing and creating content. I know I am far from the finished article. However, I am evolving and learning all the time. I feel like I am part of a big family in@Illumination. I must mention how welcoming Dr Mehmet Yildiz has been. Also the continued support I have received from Timothy Key. Last but not least.

I owe so much to Luba Sigaud for the encouragement and confidence she gave me which resulted in my article being curated in Mental Health & Addiction after publication in @The Happy Human.

I have been published in @The Haven & @Hello love as well.

I have now been published in @ Illumination on twelve occasions. Within this, I have three attempts at poetry which I am enjoying trying something outside of my comfort zone.

I did this after reading a brilliant post by Timothy Key.

I will enclose some of my publications at the bottom of this post. One thing I must insist on mentioning is the way all of the writers comment and support each other. The @ Illumination community is a fantastic place to create content. Dr Mehmet Yildiz is the man with the kryptonite that keeps this expanding and enjoyable publication in top-class condition.

My Life before writing is :

11 Years in Artexing & Plastering 12 Years + in Catering 6 Years in Management Junior/Senior Levels Blogger Novice, Mental Health Warrior, Mental Health Campaigner, Suicide Prevention Supporter Aspiring Marketer and Analytical Data Researcher. Thrives in Problem Solving & Team/People Management. A wise man from Bollington once said “ Look at Brian. Absolute Chaos!! But Somehow He’s created the 8th day!

Since I created my writer's bio. I have been fortunate enough to have more of my varied written creations placed in publications in other publications that are growing nicely yet comparison to Illumination they are half or two thirds the size. The positives to take from this is if your content is good enough it will have more space to gain exposure and grow. I am still an evolving, improving and progressing unfinished article. I am also proud to announce I am an Editor of Illumination publication. I must mention Dr Mehmet Yildiz for his belief in me also the continued positive support from the Illumination community. I am very proud to be a part of this.
