Happy New Year! Some of my highlights. 🎊🎉🥂 #writer #writingstudent #creativewriting

Did Christmas happen? I've just lifted my head from my 12th and final assignment! 📝 I'm rewarding myself with a four day writing retreat with my writing friends. ✍️😊 can't wait, I'm up and ready to pack! #writerslife #writerscommunity #Writer #writingretreat

I need a better desk chair! I've not moved out of my writing room for 3 days and I know about it! Last uni assignment leaves my hands tomorrow. After that, it's in the hands of the gods! #stressedunistudent #whothoightthiswasagoodidea #theendisnear

I find this very relatable. I found my people over the weekend.

I'm so in love with our little lady. I'm struggling right now, and something about seeing her each evening makes me feel a little bit better. #furyfriend #hamster #calmingfriend

This little blog has been penned by yours truly. Please have a read of my experience of having a monologue performed for the first time. #WritingCommunity #writerslift #writerlife #creativewritingstudent.

Smiles feel rare lately, especially after the weekend. I have had an attack of some sort in my right eye. I am suspected TN and now MS is in the ring. 2 years now firm diagnosis. God I've had enough. #givememynormalback #MS #TN

So big meeting means big decisions. Do I apply for the artist grant now or when uni is finished. Having a crisis about what I want from life. I think I want to travel but alone. Is that bad, I'm married but craving doing something big, alone. I never did it in my teens.

'One rainy day in Nottingham' was full of travel writing pleasures and practicalities for NTU School of Arts and Humanities BA Creative Writing student Laura DeVivo, who talks about taking opportunities here: nottinghamcreativewritinghub.com/2024/04/04/one…

What a night! I have been part of a poetry scholarship and Tuesday was show time. The funniest part of the evening was being asked for an autograph 😅. Today I received my script grade. A well earned 1st!! I'm buzzing.

Many thanks to Five Leaves Bookshop and @nottinghamcreativewritinghub for inviting me to read at this lovely little event but it's time to hang my brain out to dry for a little bit. #creativewritinghub #writer #student

I'm so close to typing THE END 🤯 #Writer #WritingCommunity #writerslife #childrensmysterywriter #myfirstbook

I can't believe it. My fingers shook but there it is. I have a zero draft of 60000 that I can start editing. #Writer #WritingCommunity #ntu #creativewritingstudent Nottinghamcreativehub #childrensmysterywriter

My bio for my first play. Her first play, ' First Train Out' explores the ripple effect of crime on all involved. Laura seeks to assault the audience with a chaos of sound that goes beyond words and asks the question, what would you say if you only had ten minutes. #play

Here we go again! The start of another packed year of writing. I was asked if I would read poems at the Freshers fair and be paid for it. Absolutely, I will. No one was listening, except those waiting to read.l but it didn't matter #poet #wrap_nt #ntucreativewritingstudent #ntu

What can I say about my first scratch night other than it was amazing. Last night the Y Theatre hosted RoughDraft who gives new artists and upcoming voices a chance to perform in front of an audience to get feedback. my debut play The FIrst Train Out was put to the test.

'An invitation for the reader to think about the nature of power'.
