​
What is your favourite thing to write?
My absolute first love is poetry but I have been known to tinker with crime and children's stories - I’m hoping to explore this more. 

What did you gain from the MumWrite programme?
I gained an immense amount from the MumWrite programme - in particular the confidence to explore my own creativity and take risks. I feel in the process I found my true authentic voice and the poetry I care about. 

How do you find time to write as a parent?
It's non-linear and unstructured - free for all - when I can grab the time. 

What kind of prompts do you like to use when you need inspiration?
Object evocation and or meditative writing - I feel inspired by memory so
memoir / autobiographical exercises usually work for me. 


What's a writing achievement from the last 6 months that you're proud of?
Being published in streetcake magazine  / The Babel Tower Notice Board.

What are your writing aims for 2021?
To complete and hopefully pass my MSc year 1 in Creative Writing for Therapeutic Purposes and hopefully publish my first pamphlet (a labour of love I’ve worked on for the past four years).
