Are Your Writing Goals in Line with Your Core Values?
Wherever you are in your writing career, it’s easy to assume that what you want is big advances, a high profile, major prizes, and festival appearances because that’s what every writer wants, right?

The Testaments, Margaret Atwood:
“‘Life is not about hair,” I said then, only half jocularly. Which is true, but it is also true that hair is about life. It is the flame of the body’s candle, and as it dwindles the body shrinks and melts away.’ What a brilliant writer!

@drnaomifisher.bsky.social I was so disappointed when reading your otherwise excellent book ‘Changing our minds’ that you keep calling England’s testing system ‘UK’. I live, work and brought up our children in Scotland - we have a different education system.

For the last time this trip I passed the 'Anna Frank Huis'. Walked the streets inset with Stumbling Stones in remembrance of the Jewish population of #Amsterdam murdered in the #Holocaust
We globally said #NeverAgain but morbidly I wonder, what will the future memorial to #Palestinians look like?

Back in Twitter days I’d occasionally write songs for people and this week I was inspired to write a song about Write Through It: An Insider’s Guide to Publishing and the Creative Life, a new book by @katemckean.bsky.social. I love her newsletter and her book sounds perfect for aspiring authors.

Another great review on the Waterstones website! Please, friends who’ve read my book, leave your own reviews somewhere? - Goodreads, Waterstones, Amazon etc. It really helps! It’s been encouraging to have so many positive responses to me in person; could you possibly make them public too?

Was it a good idea to attempt to make carrot cakes for 50 family-and-friends coming to my book celebration party? (If you’re one of them and there is No Cake to be seen do *not* say anything if we’re to remain on speaking terms.) Some of life’s stumbling stones are self-imposed… #book #writer

I’m trying really hard not to buy more books, honest - but I *had* to get this one. It has an important section on attachment by @suzannezeedyk.bsky.social and it features Third Culture Kids, which I also discuss in my memoir ‘Stumbling Stones: the Holocaust, my family and me’
