‘You need to have a process. You need to know what it is and be ready to change or refine it in the light of experience. That’s one of the big differences between being a professional and a dilettante.’
Writing has brought me so much joy and peace. There’s something incredibly liberating about stepping into your creative mind- away from pressure, away from deadlines- and learning new skills, building worlds, and giving life to characters you believe deserve to exist. It’s an exceptional feeling.
