Started a #StoryTreatment for a book/novel idea I've had since 2024.

I'd genuinely forgotten what it was like to write an idea down, gotta say its been brilliant to get back to it.

So ready to get started on Chapter One.

Really am going to give this a good go though!

Dear Visitors,
My creative process is in two parts. Part 1: Weaving tales. Part 2: Brewing... memories.

It’s all part of the same story, I promise. A huge thank you for the double celebration!

So sorry to have missed being a part of the No Kings Rally yesterday, but I had a commitment to be a guest speaker for Momma’s House at the Muttontown Club. It was a lovely time and I was warmly received. I am grateful to do what I love, but I was at the No Kings Rally in spirit!

pre-work scribbles and meeting Act 3 Issue #3 / March 27, 2026

Wrote some thoughts as I go into Act 3 of my first novel on my substack. I'm mostly singing into the void over there, which is not a bad thing tbh. But if you are interested in my ramblings as I write my first book, here they are!

And with that, we're in Act 3. My first draft is messy, inconsistent, and there is SO much work to do to distinguish my character voices. And I'm already so proud of it. 55k words in, closing in on the finish here!
