When my first book was published in February last year, it was a dream come true, but I really had no idea how challenging it would turn out to be. While on the one hand I discovered that I can quite happily chat about writing to school assemblies (something I was really nervous about), on the other I started to find it really difficult to go on Instagram at all. Every time I saw the reviews, book deals, awards and so on that other writers were getting, I felt like I had somehow failed. Begin as you mean to go on 🌚🌝 Today I turned 31 and drew this card which I am taking as a sign to set loose my inner crone in 2023 Lots of time in the trees this year at the expense of time in the sea 🌊 getting back in the waves starting now! Happy winter solstice from Finn, Dave (the tree) and me 🌚 Woodland Camp 12/12: Loch Trool, Galloway Forest Park. Originally we were planning to camp last Monday but we woke up and it was -7’C which was not only unappealing but probably dangerous! After a week of snow and ice, yesterday was suddenly 12 degrees so we headed straight for the place that looked the least rainy: Galloway Forest. This worked out surprisingly well because Galloway is a Dark Sky Park and last night was one of the longest of the year, so close to the solstice! If you’re looking for a gift for a young person in your life (or young at heart)… 😁❄️ Afternoon walk reset after getting bogged down trying to find the perfect title 😓 RIP to Queen Pep, the Goblin Queen, resident gremlin. It was a good eight years. Wish it could have been longer.
