I made a play and it won @FaberBooks New Play Award! After becoming a mum and losing my mum, my writing changed, it fragmented, I thought I'd lost 'it' that spark, but it had just gone deeper, and @estherichardson nurtured it. I made this fever dream keening for my mum, Bridget.

It’s a bit like breaking up with the guy who gaslights you only to get back together with the guy who always borrows money and never pays it back. #elections2024

My goodness, John Burnside was a writer. And a lovely man in person too, the one occasion I met him. This piece from a very old @LRB has stayed with me. lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v30/n08/… “Much of the time, the dead are with us…”

Went doon the toon with @CitizenSongs to make a train meditation soundscape music mashup. Amazing!!! Trains are always amazing places to meditate. To surrender to the engine growl and clack and the chatter. Can’t wait for the final piece. Thanks @BlankStudios

@Emmabarnett Hey Emma, was listening to your final show and you said ‘if the WH listeners will still speak to you.’ I don’t think you realise the impact you’ve had! You made me and the women like me finally feel included in the WH team. You brought class into the conversation

You talked about motherhood with truth and compassion. WH has been my news source, my therapy, my sister’s place. Your guests inspire and give hope. In the past four years I’ve felt part of something powerful. After your first week I said to my friend ‘Woman’s Hour’ finally

Means me too. Of course we’ll still speak to you. Your compassion, intelligence and integrity will be missed but you need to grow too. Now go shake up the Today Programme like you did Woman’s Hour. X

Once you have had the revelation that some of the stone walls in the county are not about keeping animals from escaping, but are rather are an enclosing of ghosts, you cannot ever not know it. – #MattAdams, 1981

All of this, all these drafts and reworkings and notebooks to make one book. It’s so strange to think back how I carried it all inside me. I don’t know about everyone else’s deep process but this is the only way I can write. Word by word. Step by step. Wave by wave. #writing

Lovely session working with @NewWritingNorth The Writing Space group tonight on their writing wants and needs. Not goals but deeper motivations that enable us to write. We also had a conversation between our dreamer and doubter! Putting those worries to rest.

Come on @sainsburys 126g out of 250g at £10/kg is totally unacceptable! If you can charge that you can quality check!!!

What the cunning folk of Hookland do on #NewYearsEve - year-walking. May your troubles not cross the threshold of midnight. May blessings walk down the lane to meet you in the coming year.

Enjoying listening back to fantastic interviews with @RobertCrawford @RRacingKennels @LinkKennels & @johnbdavo, among others, for the @ace_national funded DOGPEOPLE podcast. I'm also excited to plan more interviews & chat to anyone else who'd like to share stories...
