What’s Open Water?

This is the home base for writings from Wendy Robinson (hey, that’s me!). You can find links to my writing in other places, as well as original content including essays, poems, and fiction work.

Why’s it called Open Water? Well, thank you for asking. I love swimming and I love being in open water. It’s a place where I can feel comfortable or challenged, it’s the place I feel most at home in my own skin. Writing can be like that too.

Open Water is also entirely my work (unless otherwise credited) and my opinion and never a reflection of any of my current or former employers. I’ll never post sponsored or ad content without flagging it and all my Sunday suggestions are entirely based on things I actually love.
