Most first drafts are horrible regardless of who writes them—regardless of how famous, experienced, well-positioned the author. I just realized that I’ve wanted to say that for a long time.

Through the sullen light And half drizzle We follow the trail Of bluebells. On the hill, Rooks pull hair From the horses' backs Above us, Their partners wait. Words become superfluous. #naturewriting #spring #wildflowers

Courage is not about being unafraid. It’s about waking up each day, facing the shadows that follow, and saying, “I am still here.” It’s knowing the world may never be soft, but stepping into it anyway, heart trembling, hands steady, choosing to live. #poetry #poem #art #digitalart

Shared reading has lifelong benefits. But our research shows that children whose parents or carers like reading themselves are more likely to develop a love of reading. That's why it's so important we support families to share stories together: www.booktrust.org.uk/resources/fi...

Writing is a lonely & often demoralizing pursuit. If you manage to finish a full draft - you’re awesome! If you work up the nerve to submit it - you’re awesomer! Know who’s not awesome? @$$holes who use their privileged positions to make fun of emerging authors. #WritingCommunity #Beware
