Did not go walking this evening as I was at the first event of Conscious Writing Month The Literary Consultancy and Lola Jaye. I missed most of the Q&A because my WiFi was unstable, but the event was wonderful. #WritingCommunity #WritingLife 📸 my own, sunset a few nights ago, Northumberland.

Filtering through the (incredible) responses to the first session at #ConsciousWritingMonth with Lola Jaye on Protecting the Creative Self. This one absolutely floored me. Wow. "This session laid a particular old ghost to rest for me. Glad to say bye bye to that haunting."

I has made a video of nice words about Lola Jaye's amazing session at #ConsciousWritingMonth. What a nourishing session to kick us off! Couldn't fit all the incredible words into a single video, but here are some favourites 💘

Today's urgent to-do item #5 'EMAIL SARAH re J' Do I know which Sarah I meant or what 'J' refers to? Of course not My urgent to-do is two pages long. Help

I found her, it was for a new workshop I have been developing for The Literary Consultancy called SELL YOUR STORY, NOT YOUR SOUL. It's about how writers can pitch to agents & publishers with confidence while avoiding exploitation bias. It gets its first outing in January (hence 'J')!

Someone is being made redundant in my co-work space. On an open call. Everyone can hear everything. This is absolute madness? And disrespectful to the person's privacy!
