I'm finding writing really soul-destroying at the moment. Just feels a bit like I'm chipping away at a mountain with a toothpick. How do you get through it..?

Deep gratitude to Literature Wales for awarding me a bursary. This is HUGE for me. Ever since my little girl was born I've snatched time in tiny droplets. As of 1st Feb I will have dedicated time every week for a whole year! The book WILL HAPPEN! #amwriting #horror

Approaching my desk like... #amwriting

we are working on this... #stayathome #lockdown #reading

My Poem: How to Wear a Suitcase is one of the lines quoted in this - in fact this picture illustrates it. The girl even has red hair too. Link to my #poetry collection (which has this poem) in my twitter bio. Listen Softly

I bloody love doing this. The energy & excitement of not knowing quite what we're going to get, but goodness gracious, I am totally overwhelmed right now! Right, deep breaths...

Another scary one from me! This one is set in the Philippines inspired by a very strange experience I had when I was there... #gothic #horror #superstitions #amwriting

Today's goldfish scenario has pretty much summed #2020 up for me: 2 yr old daughter finds 'Joy' floating at the top of the pond, dead. Leaving 'Sadness' (our other fish) to swim alone in the depths...

Heard from #LesMiserables today & it feels so relevant: 'There's a grief that can't be spoken, There's a pain goes on and on. Empty chairs at empty tables' Hugged my parents for the first time since March today, I don't know when I will be able to again. #Lockdown2
