Writing because I have to and because I love to ❤ Endlessly curious, I have a stupidly long list of subjects and characters I want to write about. First up...
Highlights of @hayfestival 2023 include - @douglas_stuart interviewing @kitdewaal about her memoir #withoutwarningandonlysometimes. Poets Connor Allen with his book Dominoes and Brennig Allen - YOU NEED TO BE PICKED UP BY A PUBLISHER ASAP!!! Please start posting your work😍 📷
I always try and be real with my #writing - and one of the things no-one ever talks about to someone who is about to give birth, is how EXHAUSTING it is! In this scene, Rachel breaks down, talking about how hard she's finding it, as a first-time mum.

One of the hardest things to do as a writer is to write scenes with horrible characters in, who behave in a way you never would.
My latest book tackles racism, and this is Lily, a young girl in the 50s, trying to make sense of something she's just witnessed...

You know when you're #writing and you have one of those #Eureka moments?! Well this was one of mine - when I thought of a really good #storyline for Adam (Liam's best mate). This is the moment he tells his friends what he's about to do...

I've often wondered what it must be like to lose someone after nearly 50 years of marriage...
Here, Lily, my 81-year-old character, who lost her husband just short of 50 years, tells Liam what it's like to know someone for that long.

Really excited for this! The fourth season is going to be run by @AsASarahPeters who has written some of our very best episodes. She was a huge part of shaping Harley and Ivy’s voices and she’s a hilarious sick weirdo and the show couldn’t be in better hands!
You know you had an amazing time when you want to keep hold of the reminders - but three weeks later and my wristbands are starting to get a bit skanky so I think it's time!😉
Such an epic weekend - #KingsofLeon and #Zombieinfection all in one hit!

I don't always do a big shout out after a gig, but today I am!
I LOVED #ArloParks last night ❤❤ Something about the sunshine and the sunflowers and just her words... and her beautiful voice... and the way music has a way of connecting us so we can share experiences. Beautiful!
G was taking the mickey out of me for getting excited about seeing a baby #Pineapple at my friend's house on Friday night - but then when he looked at the picture, his first words were 'Oh Wow!'
I've never seen one growing before - mad!

I may just have found my next #tattoo I didn't know I wanted! The Greek letter commonly associated with #psychology - which for a #writer who's constantly fascinated by #humanbehaviour and the way people think is the perfect symbol to have inked on your body.
