Not usually one to blow my own trumpet, but I have a PB title that both my CP & I cannot believe isn't out there already! It's so obvious & fun! Kids will love it! I've wrote the first draft & is it narcissistic to say that I love it already?! #writers #kidlit #WritingCommunity

Imposter Syndrome is giving me gyp. I'm holding back the tears & keeping on, but I'm struggling. It's not often I feel this bad. I know it's OK to feel this way & it'll pass, but it's so horrible. ✨Universe, please send positive news to help me kick it's ruthless butt!✨

RIP Sean Lock. His version of The Tiger who Came to Tea/For a Pint is hilarious.

My eldest (19) has a rare disability called #williamssyndrome , (diagnosed aged 2), and has today officially been diagnosed with ASD. It's been a long journey to diagnosis, but I hope it helps her as she's transitioning & accessing adult support services. 💙

Writing this & saying 'out loud' why I feel proud of myself feels so uncomfortable. But after years of rejections & never believing in myself, these moments feel extra special. Keep writing, keep persevering. No one else can tell your stories. 💫❤️
