I received so much love and positive feedback from my original favourite recent reads so I thought I’d share another one. Who knows, maybe this will become a regular feature.

Sharing writing is fast becoming one of my new favourite things to do. Because of algorithms and because there is just so much writing and information out there it’s hard to wade through it and find something that just hits the spot.

This week, purely accidentally but rather pleasingly, there is a theme in the following four stories about writing, creating and lessons learned as the writers each travel their own creative journey.

Some of these are written by members of The Confident Creative Club which I founded and I feel like a mama bear so incredibly proud of her cubs.
