If you love Hook or Our Flag Means Death, you will also love The Littlest Darling. A queer YA spin off of Peter Pan.

Looking forward to non-fiction workshop with Rae Earl this morning with @ldnwriterscentre.bsky.social

I'm attending three writing events this week, and I'm completely bedridden.

It wouldn't be possible without online provision. Disabled writers and artists deserve inclusion.

It's great to have successes in creative work but don't pull the ladder up after you. It's good to share knowledge, other people's work and help others on their path. The world is better for art, writing and creativity.

Also, learn to take criticism graciously.

I recently got some feedback and it's going to be hard to implement that because it contradicts a compulsion I have.

I'll try regardless and I recognise this doesn't invalidate my efforts.

In Chronic Paine: A Call to End the Reign of Error I write today in memory of, and with gratitude for, Thomas Paine, whose pen once shook an empire and whose courage named tyranny plainly while others trembled in silence.

Gentle Progress When Your Body Has Limits This post encourages writers with chronic pain to recognize that progress isn’t linear. It emphasizes the importance of adjusting expectations and approaches to maintain creativity without harm. A linked worksheet serves as a gentle check-in tool to help identify energy drains and promote awareness, allowing for sustainable, paced progress.

Progress doesn’t have to hurt to count. This week’s Sunday post includes a gentle worksheet for writers building something while living with chronic pain or limited energy. No fixing. No forcing. Just support. 🌱

A Quiet Beginning Welcome to Limited Edition Literary Magazine.

The writing that belongs here may take many forms: poems, short stories, flash fiction, personal essays. Some may speak directly from lived experience; others may approach it sideways, through metaphor or imagination. #writingcommunity #disabledwriters #literaryzine open.substack.com/pub/limitede...

Having an information processing issue is rough when trying to record my stories because those pauses stretch on, even in my best takes. Going to chop together the clips I have so you aren't stuck with me being silent for seconds at a time.

Feel free to ask questions.

post for event: 14 January 2026, 5pm UK time, via zoom. 
This roundtable highlights new developments in research and outreach around the work and lives of the English poet and diarist Dorothy Wordsworth and the German poet and author Annette von
Droste-Hülshoff.

While foregrounding the writings of Dorothy and Droste, the
roundtable will also introduce Que(e)ry Points, a collaborative project that interweaves work by the writers with new texts, audio material, and a playable online game. Que(e)ry Points invites readers, listeners and players to explore how queerness and chronic illness inform the
writing of both authors, as well as their relationship to landscape. Que(e)ry Points takes its name from notes Dorothy Wordsworth made to herself in her Alfoxden journal of questions about her surroundings as she walks, that she needed to record to look up later. Speakers: Polly Atkin, Anneke Lubkowkitz, Abi Palmer and Annie Rutherford

I have spent thousands of my partner's money to publish my books. I have earned way less. As a disabled person, I have never been able to support myself financially. Breaks my heart. I have no strength for marketing. Struggling to breathe takes too much.
