There's an author whose work I love. Everything she's written is amazing, but I just read her debut (15 years old) & it blew me away, by far my favourite. I wonder how much of that initial spark, joy, integrity & bravery in new writers is snuffed out by the industry.

Oh my goodness it’s 2pm and no one I mean no one has been into the bookshop today we’ve not sold a single book, this is a first in 4 years! Not after sympathy just telling you how it is because these kind of trading conditions have massive knock on’s for the entire industry.

Over eight years of writing it's taken me four years to figure out that writing short stories is what I most love. Boy have I overcomplicated things. If I'd asked my past self the question first I'd have saved myself a lot of trouble🤷‍♀️#amwriting #shortstories

Just finished reading Blue Hawk by @TurnerPen2Paper and am bereft. A gorgeously written and tender story with beautifully drawn characters set in and around Stroud. I've learned so much about the art of cloth-dying and am genuinely gutted to have finished reading it💔
