Let’s do some burning 🔥

Been playing with the theme of shedding shame. Working with @lizclarkecompany with #glitterheartproject. Here’s me setting three dolls houses on fire with an audience of fierce, strong, brave and vulnerable women watching - while three helicopters circled above.

Had a brilliant night sharing of writing from the Queer Writers Collective- set up by Tom Marshman.After 6 months of working together with masterclass workshops with writers including Travis Alabanza, Joelle Taylor, this sharing marked an end of our masterclasses and a beginning of writing together

Thanks Bristol light fest ⭐️

Thanks x

Please add me 😊

LOVED being at Graeae Theatre Company’s new writing festival.
What a joy to be around playwrights and theatre industry people in a spirit of transparency, hope and community. Excellent job at leading the way in supporting new writing and taking the risks that need to be taken. #newwriting #Graeae

The BBC is planning to eradicate audio drama from Radio 3, which will be devastating for writers, other creative workers and audiences

Oh! Thanks ☺️

Hi please can you add me ? Thanks ❤️

It is six A.M., and I am working. I am absentminded, reckless, heedless of social obligations, etc. It is as it must be. The tire goes flat, the tooth falls out, there will be a hundred meals without mustard. The poem gets written. I have wrestled with the angel and I am stained with light and I have no shame. Neither do I have guilt.

I am happy to read this - I expected to have a graphic novel completes in a year - now three years later…

Love doing spoken word events 😊 Pop v Poets yesterday in Bristol 🖤

This is an excellent question and one I regularly contemplate myself

Follow the joy in the writing rather than the trauma

Working a full-time job to support your creative side hustle is really difficult, but Homer managed to write the lliad whilst clocking in at the nuclear power plant every day. Inspirational
