Today I kinda finished a 1st draft of my novel. Names change 1/2 way. The plot veers into different threads at the same time and I have 1 page of to-do's on a spreadsheet in the smallest font. But I'm happy I can see what I need to do!:)
This autumn I'm taking The Heartland on a road trip. Here are the dates. Please do come and say hello at a venue near you. (I sometimes get offered complimentary tickets for these thing too, so, you know, just ask...)
#Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist or understand. George Orwell / Agree or disagree?
THANK YOU.
To @WeArePhosphoros (Kate & Syed) for bringing the unseen to light
To @Penelope_Ellis for the wonderful photography
To @safepassageuk for presenting us the opportunity to host such an event
To everyone that came out in support of Wiltshire's #OurTurn campaign.
In the past 2 years, Britain has given refuge to fewer unaccompanied child refugees than in your average primary school class.
We can do better than this.
80 years on from the Kindertransport we need to live up to its proud legacy. It's #OurTurn
In Wiltshire this evening? Get down to @poundarts Corsham theatre tonight to see a free performance from @WeArePhosphoros & a film screening. This is the start of the #OurTurn by @wilts4refugees to persuade Wiltshire Council to take in more child refugees https://t.co/JuucxJtpiH
