Making it to the short list is just as good as winning for me. Writing competitions like The Letter Review are so competitive, and to get a mention is a dream come true ❤️

Best news to wake up to ❤️ I thought I’d try writing creative nonfiction to learn something new, and this is where I currently am. Wow! Women on Writing is a very competitive comp. I beat 217 other essays to get to this point, and even if I don’t place, being long-listed is enough for me 🥰

I am so excited to announce that my short story "Ghostlight" was the winning entry in the writing category for the Australian Horse Performance Magazine's Art Competition. This story meant so much to me. I loved writing it, and I loved entering into a competition that supported an amazing charity.

My favourite book of all time...

The best article I have ever read on showing vs telling 😍

Writing a novel is 10% inspiration, 90% googling “how long can someone survive without sleep”, and deleting the same sentence 12 times.
My characters keep doing things I didn’t plan. I think they’ve unionised.
Anyway, word count is a social construct.
