Storm Dennis was here yesterday. In the afternoon it started raining and did not stop for hours - roads were flooded and cars abandoned.
We expected more of the same today, but it was surprisingly calm here, so we headed out to take a hike and get some fresh air. More in stories if you want a look. Hope everyone has managed to stay safe. The weather has been interesting lately hasn’t it? .

Look at this little bunch of loveliness. It’s angel wings done in macrame by my talented friend @woodenwonderscrafts
Out of the blue, she gave me and some of my other friends one each as gifts and we were all blown away by them.
It made me realise a few things, firstly that getting a surprise gift is just as much fun as an adult as it was as a kid.
Secondly, that gifts made from the heart are truly special and thirdly, her business selling these is going to be a big hit.
She’ll be opening an online shop (I think) soon, so get your orders in early.
Anyway, just wanted to share her talent and also boast a bit I suppose, because the last time I got a unexpected gift around valentines was when I was twelve and the paper boy left a small teddy outside our front door.
Happy valentines all! ❤️

I’ve started this caption three times trying to tell you something that I just can’t articulate.
So, I’ll tell you this instead: I’m struggling finding a good caption.
I’m distracted with my novel writing, distracted by the storm that still rages outside and distracted trying to work out why the vegetable stir fry I just had tasted so much better than usual.
I know, riveted aren’t you? 🙈
Hopefully my head won’t be in the clouds so much tomorrow but I’m making no promises. .

There’s a storm here, one that’s important enough to have its own name. Thankfully, we’re all good, but I am feeling a little delicate after some celebrations yesterday, so I battened down the hatches and hid. Got out the fluffy blanket & hot tea & this great read by @davidsedarisbooks.
So whilst the winds raged and rain hit the window, I’ve done something I’ve not done in an age: read for hours.
I’ve been taking this copy everywhere with me, which is why it looks a little battered, but that just shows how much I’m enjoying it, and reading it today was an afternoon well spent.
What’ve you been reading? And if you’re in the UK I hope you’re safe & dry. .

It’s the evening as I write this, and it’s been a long day.
I feel like doing nothing but eating chocolate & watching tv, and then I remember my characters.
Where I left them and how they are waiting to tell their story and I get a little fizz of excitement in my chest at the thought.
The chapter I’m working on tonight is when the deceit really begins. My MC reaches her point of no return.
I like to think of it as if she’s just at the very tipping point of a huge rollercoaster. Teetering on the top of calm before her huge fall down 😂
So that’s my evening ahead, are you working on anything creative today? .

It can be so hard to try and kill that negative voice, can’t it?
The one that says, ‘it’s going to take forever,’ and ‘is it even worth it?’ So a note here to remind me and you to trust the process. Creating takes time and it’s not all about the end result, there’s just as much to gain in the process.

Felt like spring here today a little, and there’s rumours of the sun coming out to play this weekend! 🌞🌞
But shhhhh, don’t say it out loud or it might not happen! .

The paperback cover for The Secretary. Out in August.
I’m over the moon with it, more in stories on why it means so much to me, but I can’t wait to hold this paperback finally in my hands! .

Raining constantly all day here, but there was a little break in the clouds and a flash of sunlight that make the path shine ✨✨
Have a great weekend all! .

It can be so hard trying to get a good photo when your official photographer is a table! 😂
Shout out to all the other peeps out there with an idea for a photo in their head that just doesn’t translate to the grid. However, my jumper does look fabulous, thank you @joanieclothing 🙂#gifted

Took myself off to a cafe to write & edit today.
I only had an hour or so, maybe even less before the school run, and almost didn’t go. I kept telling myself how it wasn’t worth it, how it was hardly any time, but let me tell you friends it was *totally* worth it.
A change of scenery is sometimes just what’s needed the make the words flow 😊

Did a plan today of when I should get this edit finished.
It was good in one respect as I know what I’ve got to work to, but bloody hell it feels like I’ve got a long way to go!
And there’s the constant battle of other ideas/ projects/ creative endeavours that keep begging for time. ‘NOPE!’ I’m saying to myself in my strongest voice, keep on track. Get this edit done before starting anything else.
Tell me off if you see me prattling on about a new project, won’t you? .
