For everyone, these past two years have been chaotic. Although, it's given me a chance to really reflect on what I truly want from life and to really be in tune with what my priorities are and what I want to do going forward. What is this? I wanted to write here how I’m feeling …

Accessing Education – My Postgraduate
So, it's been a while since I wrote a new blog on here, apologies, I've been tinkering away in the background of my life. This one's not really for advice or a showcase for my own writing, it's more a journal entry of where I'm at right now as I begin to take on a …
Dialect Writing Challenge – The Black Country.

With a little help from my friends…
Why needing help and having people offer it to you is okay.
Who’d you take after?
When talking to people about what we like doing or something we're good at, very often we talk about who in our family you 'got' the skill from.
