I’m writing in bed this morning after a full on (for me!) half term week. There‘s something so wonderful about the way words can transport you somewhere else, especially when you don’t actually have the option of physically going elsewhere.

I loved reading this little Valentine’s story about the Brontë sisters and William Weightman!

Today my editing has largely consisted of adding a pillar box hat and a Japanese silk robe to my MS. I’m now wondering if vintage fashion is the main reason I write historical fiction. (Verdict: probably.)

I was feeling pretty smug about having now made twenty-one tiny books. But then I put them on the bookshelf in my doll’s house and, well. Let’s just say I have a lot more tiny books still to make.

I read this on dark days for a little solace.

I think all of us could benefit from taking more of this energy into our daily writing practice.

The sun is shining, my brain feels far less full of cotton wool than it did yesterday, and it’s late pick up at school. I have therefore decided that today is going to be a Very Good Writing Day.

I had my first non-medical outing of 2025 this morning! There was blue sky and birdsong and bare trees and crocuses and snowdrops and a wide open space. (And, of course, children laughing and den-finding and dogs running about.)

We sowed these coleus seeds at the start of the year & tucked them up in a plastic bag to do their thing. I took a peek in the bag today & found all these shoots! Perhaps there’s a metaphor here about germination time & hidden progress, but for now I’m just going to enjoy the lovely new greenness.

I’ll be honest, being tucked up on the sofa with a poorly 10yo and Frozen 2 doesn’t make for ideal editing conditions. (Which, admittedly, may be because I love Frozen 2 and am therefore very willing to be distracted.)
