Has Anyone Else Melted Slightly This Month - Emotionally and Literally?

​

Same. So over on Substack, I leaned into the heatwave energy and got real about what writing looks like when your brain’s overwhelmed and your heart’s a bit wobbly.

​

I explored what it means to be a neurodivergent brain craving connection - the kind that’s soft, real, and doesn’t require masking. I also talked about why sometimes the work for the day is just having a good cry (because productivity isn’t always the goal - sometimes feeling is the work). And I introduced my new creative approach: No Plan, Just Growth - a messy but meaningful shift that’s giving me permission to write without pressure or perfectly colour-coded timelines.

​

If you took part in the mini writing challenge last week - I hope it helped spark something. If you missed it, there’s an email from me sitting in your inbox from Friday (have a peek!), or you can still find all the details over on Substack or social media.

​

But for now, grab a cool drink, your current work-in-progress (or that persistent idea that won’t leave you alone), and let’s catch up on everything from me in June.

I've been working with writers for two decades, from acquiring fiction and non-fiction at a major publishing house, all the way to being in 1:1 critique relationships, and accountability partnerships.

​

I bloody love talking about stories, and characters, ideas and I'm also very aware of what it's like to feel stuck and wanting to bang your head on the desk (please don't do that!).

​

And for all of us neurodivergent folk, as a late-diagnosed ADHDer myself, I also want to reiterate that there's no shame either in getting stuck or just feeling like you can't get yourself together to do this, even though it's all that you can think about. But I do want you to tell your story.

Get in touch, and let's see what we can do together!
