In the spirit of all the Marie Kondo hype, let's explore how we can use the #konmari method on our writing too.
What Makes A Writer?
Debating "what makes a writer?" and "who is allowed to call themselves a writer?" used to take up a fair bit of my time. I loved to write, had been writing for years and daydreamed about publication. But I didn't feel like a writer. The vocation felt distant, far away. Today, things are a lot simpler. … Continue reading What Makes A Writer?
Am I Enough?
Am I enough for... myself? For my high standards, the pressure I put on myself, my shabby brand of perfectionism?

Playsuit Logisitics
I was standing in front of the mirror this morning, after having just got dressed, when I suddenly had a blog idea. What can I say? I'm my biggest inspiration.
