Meet Trina Beckett, Author, Instructor

Trina Beckett is one of the excellent lecturer’s onboard the Viking. She is only with us for this the second segment of our eight segment journey,

Trina’s bio: Trina Beckett has written for Wanderlust, Conde Nader Traveler and Heritage Realm, contributed short stories to anthologies, and run writing workshops for local literary festivals. Her book Deadlier than the Male: Wives of the Generals 1677-1937 was published by Pen & Sword in 2018.

On sea days, at 3:30 pm - I make sure to be at her writing workshop presentations. More than anything Trina has given me encouragement to keep at it - writing & this blog.

In one of her sessions she spoke about “Flash Fiction” really it is “Flash Any Genre” my blogging ties into this.

Here is a bit I wrote during her first session.

“The room was filled with hungry writers - all wanting to learn the secret. This sweet little lady reminds me of my grandmother - her German butter cookies neatly arranged in a round cookie tin.

Each Christmas, the cookie tins would be under the tree with our names on it - inside an envelope with a crisp new dollar bill inside and an assortment of the best German cookies you could ever imagine.”

Our speaker feeds up spoonfuls of writing tips from her recipes of words and phases. Her guidance is a flavor and sweetness which fills our minds with imagery, ideas, and motivations.

Trina, we all thank you.
