I have always loved to sing but had big hang ups about it because of some things that happened when I was a kid/teen. Just over a year ago I released a song that I co-wrote, including singing live at a public launch event. The whole process of this song coming to life was hugely healing for me 1/

Here’s a tiny sculpture of a space whale* I made in a workshop facilitated by my friend Sam. The workshop was very scary because I’m not a visual artist but it’s always good to be a learner! 💛 *from my #MG #SF verse novel Space Whale Songs. 🪐🐋🎶 #BluePitHype #Querying

A hand made white sculpture of a space whale sitting on top of coloured post it notes. The whale has a curved horn (like a rhinoceros’s) and large double front flippers that look more like wings. The whale is smaller than the post it notes.

I’m a chronic night owl so the morning and I are not friends, not because I don’t love her but because I gotta sleep sometime. But today I was still awake at 5:30am from the night before so I took myself up to the local lookout to watch the sky soften and lighten and to have a little cry. 💛
