SPOTLIGHT ON WRITERS
IVOR STEVEN
@ivors20
- Where, do you hail from?
I was born and raised in Geelong, Victoria, Australia (the southern part of the continent, an hour south of Melbourne), and I am still a resident of my home town, having never moved more than 5km away from my parentsβ house.
- What is the greatest thing about the place you call home?
Geelong is a city beside the bay, and only 30 minutes away from the picturesque Bellarine Peninsula beaches, and the famous South Coast surf beaches. If I was to be reincarnated, I am sure I would come back as a dolphin.
- What turns you on creatively?

So nice to know more about you, Ivor. I love that you believe in the goodness of human beings, I do too. You live in a wonderful place, I had to google it to find out exactly where it is. It must be nice to stay in the same place all your life. My Father has itchy feet and dragged us across half of Africa. I don’t really mind, it was an education in itself. Congrats and keep shining your light. π
