I keep a journal alongside any creative project where I jot down thoughts, research and information, reflect on books I'm reading, draft scenes and flesh our characters. In the journal, I include moaning or frustrated entries about how I can't seem to get writing today. From this, quite often I loosen up and begin to craft a scene. It is all about overcoming under-confidence and forcing oneself to begin. A useful piece of advice is that the enemy of the good book is the perfect book. (less)

I often find myself simultaneously hyper-alert to things around me but also in a dreamlike state of creativity. It feels like unravelling in the best possible way, like taking a swim in a warm ocean - I suppose it's about freedom of thought.(less)

Event in a Tent

Laugharne Weekend Festival is special; informal and irreverent, with plenty of brilliant acts, musical and literary. I’ve wanted to go for ages so was really happy to be invited to read this year. The festival’s warm-hearted, easy-going identity made for one of the best events I’ve performed at – a great connection with the audience and some very good vibes.


The magic of the weekend is partly the r

Margaret Atwood
“The only way you can write the truth is to assume that what you set down will never be read. Not by any other person, and not even by yourself at some later date. Otherwise you begin excusing yourself. You must see the writing as emerging like a long scroll of ink from the index finger of your right hand; you must see your left hand erasing it.”
Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin

J.D. Salinger
“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.”
J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

Jonathan Safran Foer
“I regret that it takes a life to learn how to live.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

Kazuo Ishiguro
“Indeed — why should I not admit it? — in that moment, my heart was breaking.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day

Naomi Wolf
“To live in a culture in which women are routinely naked where men aren't is to learn inequality in little ways all day long. So even if we agree that sexual imagery is in fact a language, it is clearly one that is already heavily edited to protect men's sexual--and hence social--confidence while undermining that of women.”
Naomi Wolf, The Beauty Myth
