In reply to Rebecca Stonehill. Thank you Rebecca! I'm glad you liked it, even more glad you feel proud. It's not always easy to maintain a jaunty swagger, but I've also found so much encouragement from other women writers (and this blog!). All the best! xx

Hi Bee, SO MUCH of this resonates. “You have to fake it until you make it” – love that! I feel like I spent a lot of time doing just that. And even now, a year after the publication of my first novel, I sometimes catch myself out apologising for it in some way. I couldn’t have read this at a better time and it is always helpful to remind myself to feel proud of what I have achieved. Your book sounds great btw, really unique idea.

The response I often get when I tell someone I’m a journalist and writer is, ‘Oh, I fancy a bit of scribbling. If I write something, will you look at it?’ Love the article, Bee. It resonates on so many levels.

I usually say do you mind if I start out by telling you the impetus for my becoming a writer in the first place? And they say yes that would be great
