Been in a reading funk…this however broke that.
“The First Year” by #MattGoodfellow is every bit as wonderful as I hoped it would be. It truly captures the anxieties and challenges of going to secondary and feels entirely true. Nate and his “square” are fantastic. We all need someone to know us!

For anyone who's read VARJAK PAW and wants to know how it was written - or anyone interested in the #writing process - here's a free resource I made for the British Library, sharing pages from 7 different drafts. You can have a lot of fun showing this to a class!

What's your "why"? Do you have it front and centre, somewhere you can see it every day, so it becomes your North Star?
Here's my "why". Now we're on the move, I've had to take a photo of it. Normally it stands on my desk so I can read it and stay true to it every day.
