And finally: No one starts amazingly. Play around. Write whatever comes to mind in your notes app. Edit. Don’t edit. Don’t get bogged down in typos. Shoot your shot. Apply for magazines, competitions, jobs. I never expected to be Young City Laureate with @LitWorks but here we are

Really enjoyed doing this as my final piece. I feel like so much of the creative industry is jumping from one big project to the next, sometimes it’s important to remember to slow down.

I'm looking to populate the foyer of Barbican Theatre Plymouth with a bookshelf of play texts as a resource for artists. If anyone is in a position to share this tweet or donate any plays I'd be so grateful.

Jon Nash explores the power of stories in our lives, history, LGBT representation and our connection to the more than human world. He’s written plays for The Box, Barbican Theatre, and Theatre Royal Plymouth, and supports local writers through Downstage Write.
