Fancy coming to work with me at the British Library? Part time for 18 months, collecting oral histories about covid and thinking about covid commemoration. www.nationalmuseums.org.uk/jobs/job/228...

After a long school summer holiday induced hiatius, I've written for my Substack again. And, shifts in my life stage are perhaps opening up opportunities for more of my writing life. Thoughts and plans here x

If you are a fellow writer - I share my experiences of building my new indie author writing life over on Substack. May be of interest especially if you are also a mum who writes and/or chronically ill. Also potentially of interest to those who have also left academia x

I'm currently writing more in my fiction and on Substack and if you are interested in reading a bit more of what I'm writing - I've made an Instagram post with some signposting as I try to grapple with my many-sided writer identity crisis? rebirth? :) www.threads.com/@vikkijonesa...

I took a bit of a break from most socials over Q1 of this year - it helped enormously with regaining clarity about how I wanted to advance my indie author goals moving forwards. I am tentatively 'back' for Q2 but aim to be scrolling much less often in order to keep writing.

It's pretty much 7 years since I decided to leave academia for my own good... and it is the first time in years that I am feeling like writing about why it was good for me - and also why it has taken ALL of these long, difficult, tricksy past 7 years to come to some kind of identity reconciliation!

Struggling with a cold, but I finally have my first blog of 2026! Why I'm off - most - socials; spending far less time online & what I hope to achieve through this. More personal (vulnerable) essays will be on Substack soon(ish). Link to blog if of interest: payhip.com/VikkiJonesAu...

After an essential rest/rot day yesterday, I restarted my writing week with a much needed desk declutter, clean and tidy. Desk with my essentials - a5 dot grid bullet journal, coffee, tbr pile, bit of online engagement. #chronicallyillwriters

Currently rethinking what I actually need to write in my Substack - I want to write here as an exercise in therapeutic writing - so it needs to go much deeper than I initially thought. More soon - subscribe if this speaks to you.

Lost a week to added illness in the house - so I took a slow weekend to reset that involved knitting, television with my daughter, a jog, some pottering. Back at my desk today listening to CMAT Euro-Country. Late to the party, I know - but exactly the kind of writing I need to hear today

Slow Sunday with the smell of a roast chicken in the air and some journaling time with a pen and notebook - elite! Thinking about what I want to focus on as we roll into December in terms of my writing goals - and also how these all come together. Challenging, but exciting times ahead!

Where I left off - when I left academia due to chronic illness and total burnout - thinking of picking the germ of the idea here again ... scispace.com/papers/first...

A day of Bluesky & I'm glad I gave it a go; it feels a little like Twitter of old - if you carefully curated your feed! It's been comforting to come back to content that is primarily the written word. I was worried adding another platform would feel overwhelming, but so far, so good.

I am also dipping back into Substack to write more about rebuilding a writing career in chronic illness - after academia - and as an indie author. Currently free - link here: chronicallyillshewrote.substack.com

Dipping my toe into Bluesky as a space for my non-fiction & scholarly writer identity. It's been a while since I wanted to write this way, but I have some ideas percolating. If autoethnography, auto-fiction, family history, class, feminist essays are your thing - hi!
