Things I’m grateful for, from January 👇🏼 ☀️ Spending time with my family. ☕️ Slow mornings with time for coffee. 📖 Cosy reading nights, introducing my son to different stories. 💇🏽‍♀️ Crisp walks to the hairdressers for a bit of a pamper. #writingcommunity #readingcommunity

Allowing myself not to have a niche on Substack is so freeing. Of course, there’s fiction writing updates & thriller/ horror short stories over there, but there’s space for so much more, too. #writingcommunity #skywrite
