It was a joy to chat with @joannechocolat.bsky.social about her new novel, Vianne. It's a sumptuous prequel to Chocolat & she shared so many insights into her writing.
Thanks to @huddlitfest.bsky.social for this opportunity, and to the audience for your lovely questions.

"With Preston currently ranked as the worst funded city in England for creatives, Condo’s show speaks directly to the people who desperately need support."
Huge thanks to Kate Rosindale for this article about How to Starve an Artist. Can't wait to bring the show to The Ferret next week!
I've been working on new writing project ideas.

I wrote this on a random notebook page a few weeks ago.

Super impressed with the Creative Writing group at @hootcreativearts.bsky.social today! They took up the challenge to write univocal poems (aka using only ONE vowel) and wrote awesome words! ✍️✍️✍️
Big 🙏 to Melanie Neads - we used your ace Flapjack Press collection Euphoria for inspiration! ❤️
Come on, folks--I know a lot of you believe in restoring the A Level in Creative Writing in England--sign and share now!

Brilliant day with @fairandfunky.bsky.social! What a celebration of women's voices for International Women's Day! ❤️ Loved running a poetry workshop and meeting amazing people at Holmfirth Tech! #IWD2025
A mostly blank page with the words Strong and Free, from the English version of the Canadian national anthem ) Below the fold of this newspaper sheet , in smaller type, news and editorial references to the trade war
This is the first page of this morning’s edition of the Globe and Mail (arguably the English Canadian paper of record)
I don’t remember seeing anything like this before
My disappointment about an unsuccessful DYCP bid was greatly soothed by a check-in day with the fabulous, big-hearted people on the @curiousminds.org.uk Rhyme & Reason project. Love my role as Poet Mentor with this gang! Onwards and upwards. Yay poetry! ❤️
This month’s Attic Stories guest is @bigcharliehart! He recently published the fabulous ‘Things we don’t talk about…'
