In 2012, I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, a chronic illness that comes under the IBD umbrella.

Living with this has been difficult, sometimes painfully so, and it impacts my writing too.

Here is my story.

@ihussainwriter @PuffinBooks Wow! So exciting…but also, I can’t even imagine how long that took! 🤩

[Helen Jones - THE DOMINO MAN coming 14 Jan '27 @helenjauthor]

When life throws you a curveball, or you're waiting for the other shoe to drop, it's easy to lose your creative impetus. What's important is how you get it back, and that you acknowledge your success when you do.

The path to publication can be long, winding and highly variable. But what do you do when you get a publishing offer? And how do you assess whether it's right for you?

Read my latest substack to find out what I did, why, and whether it worked!

Look out for this coming soon 👀

This is the last edition of A Lens Unclouded... before I rebrand my blog, and everything else in my writing life.

But what is rebranding, why am I doing it, and is it really going to make a difference?

It’s my fiftieth substack today, so please join me for a little retrospective over the last two years: what I’ve learned, what I (still) haven’t, and what is coming next…
