It wasn’t part of the plan. In fact, you didn’t even think it was possible… not at your age. But it happened and now an impossible decision sits before you.

Congratulations to this year’s shortlisted authors!
Fascinating talk by @Nnedi Okorafor at @AfroriBooks yesterday regarding her new book Death of the Author. Loved what Nnedi said about AI.
Very happy to have a piece included in this upcoming anthology of @uncensored_motherhood_stories

I do enjoy having something to read with my coffee though, to be fair, it’s not usually the coffee itself 😊 @RobGMacfarlane
Started at new short story at a writers’ event organised by @newwritingsouth at Yellow Wave Cafe, Brighton. What a place to be inspired 😊
Being acknowledged (along with my lovely MA group) by a writer you respect @KarenMcLeod_ is deeply touching and conveys the importance of a writing community. Please read Karen's book Lifting Off @MuswellPress
Had a wonderful time celebrating at the launch of @KarenMcLeod_ ‘s wonderful new book Lifting Off (@MuswellPress ) and hanging with my MA made-for-life buds @peckhamshell @jhowze @storyshaoni
Thrilled to get home to find this beauty on my doormat. Proud to be in the latest anthology of @thiwurd - thanks to the brilliant team.
Wonderful gig @brightdome last night, with @RobGMacfarlane and @JohnnyFlynnHQ - thank you for evoking the natural wonders of Sussex with words and music (you would have loved it @BenjaminAddy)
