I love the creative space writing affords me, I often freewrite as part of the creative visualisation process and I use these techniques in my coaching practice. Freewriting is like a direct route into the subconscious mind where many secrets can hide!
Disappearing into another world, whether it is a novel, short story, poem or flash fiction is extremely therapeutic as well as insightful. It is incredible what we learn about ourselves when we provide the space to listen. Much of my fiction writing seems to teach me a great deal when I read it back.
In 2021 I reached the top 10% of entries in three categories n the Bridport Prize, During 2020/21 I wrote a blog with Psychologies magazine which I’ve turned into an ebook.

Substack
I’ve been writing about creativity, wellbeing and life for quite a while now. It has evolved from Attentive Art only to encompassing all my creativity under my own name. I talk about what I’ve been working on, how it impacts how I feel, plus I offer first views and reads, discounts and freebies. Oh and for now at least it is 100% free.

eBook
This book has been beautifully constructed from all the blog posts with creative challenges that I wrote for Psychologies magazine during 2020-21. It documents what I was doing at the time interwoven with the creative challenges I set each week and how I responded to them.
