Der Kleine Häwelmann (the little Havelman) is a German bedtime story written by Theodor Fontane in 1848. It’s about a boy who uses his night shirt as a sail and his crib as a cart to travel to strange places.

That crying moon used to freak me out 😆

It’s the last day of the year, and like today #2023 has been so light and so dark, so bright and so exhausting, so blessed… happy #2024 everyone 🥳🥳🥳

Revisiting an old manuscript and the characters feel like old friends… does anyone else sometimes reread their own writing just to be with those people again?

Breastfeeding supposedly saves you £15 a week because you don’t spend money on formula….

What’s not been considered there though is how much you spend on chocolate and cake instead 🍰 🧁 🍫 👶

I’m breastfeeding so I have two modes: “sure, I could eat” and “IF I DON’T EAT RIGHT NOW I’M GOING TO DIE”

Because nothing brings in the festive feeling like an image of Rudolph bleeding out in the snow 😱😱😆

I just love it when you dig out a manuscript you haven’t touched in 5 years and two things are true:

1) it’s actually not bad 😃

2) it’s suddenly right on reading trend 🤩

watch this space, folks!

I feel so seen, especially when I’m on deadline and cleaning the gap under the skirting board with a knitting needle…

Which is something only writers do 😆

“Is there no gold in these mountains?”
He gives her a look, then, that sets her on edge. 
“No gold,” he says finally. “Nothing at all.”

Sadly, she wasn’t into it… knowing that, the image takes on quite a deeper level of meaning when it comes to what victory is and how it is celebrated.

My third manuscript has received its first rejection… I am floored! After two novels out, I forgot that terrible feeling 😳

Then I remind myself that I had 64 rejections before I first got #published. You have to soldier on!

My heart goes out to all the #authors out there querying. Keep at it!

It was around this time four years ago that I got my publishing deal.🤩🤩🤩

I still remember that magic phone call while I was walking past Old Street roundabout. I may have cried…
