Day 23: #whyshewrites
Share a story you wish you had written I’m not actually sure what this prompt is asking. Is it asking for a story that is mine which I have not yet written, but wish I had? Is it asking for a story that is published that I wish I had written and published myself? If…

Writer’s Dread
Before the #whyshewrites challenge, I hadn’t written in quite some time on here and I began processing why this might be. There are times when I wonder how writers can write about their lives and inevitably those in it without offending others or making people they know feel concerned that they might be in someone’s…

Day 16: #whyshewrites
Describe your writing style in three words. Although I could say ‘creative, nonfiction, stories’ or something like that, I also think that most of my published writing has elements of comedy – because life is.

Day 15: #whyshewrites
What are you currently reading? I have two books on the go at the moment. To diversify my listening material from true crime podcasts, I’ve started listening to audiobooks. So, I am nearly finished with the amazing memoir of Tara Westover. More slowly, I’m reading before bed Sapiens, which is interesting in understanding humans more.…
