Writer as Maker
On making things and putting them into the world If a tree falls and no one hears it, does it make a sound? If a person writes a book and no one reads it, does it exist? For most creatives, you are free to make what you like and then what you have made exists. ContinueContinue reading “Writer as Maker”

But it is what it is andContinueContinue reading “Voice at the Window Kickstarter campaign: Only two days left!”
Gratitude, a weapon
View from the kitchen window, 6.30am. Gratitude, a weapon It could be seen as incongruous, offensive, even, to write gratitude poems during a global pandemic, and I did think this to myself as well, as I was writing them, but what if gratitude is exactly what we need to get us through? Gratitude willContinueContinue reading “Gratitude, a weapon”
Gratitude is a choice
When I was writing these poems, I was really conscious that they were coming across as ‘happy’ in a really difficult time for a lot of people. But gratitude isn’t saying that your life is perfect and that you don’t have anxieties and worries, it is CHOOSING to remember and hold on to the positiveContinueContinue reading “Gratitude is a choice”

Faith and Mystery
Because I am a writer, I believe in magic. Because I have a faith, I believe in what cannot be explained. I believe that life is a story, at times hilarious, sad and uncanny, that the strangest things happen all of the time. For me, living with a Christian faith is about accepting theContinueContinue reading “Faith and Mystery”

About me and why I wrote Circles..
My forthcoming book, Circles: Nurture and Grow your Creative Gift was born out of a collection of writings from a crazy time in my life when I had two very young children and a third on the way. I was longing to create but felt that all my creative energy was being sapped by parenthood.ContinueContinue reading “About me and why I wrote Circles..”
