“It’s difficult to classify myself solely as a writer of romance, when in fact writing about women’s lives, and the complexities that has gone into making her that woman, entails a great deal more than romance.”

Not even 24hr off the plane . . .
And it’s back to work - hosting a writing workshop for @theashecompany in the grounds of @seaccfulham - Sands End Community Centre . . . the prompt; ‘write a letter to your future self’
A few folks thanked me for bringing the sun back from Jamaica 🌞 😂 jet lag kept knocking, but I kept going. It was a wonderful day, a wonderful event, meeting & chilling with wonderful folks.
The mayor of Hammersmith & Fulham popped in to talk with all the group’s & charities - and she will be opening the @hfwritersfest on 19th July.
Gratitude is a must 🙏🏾❤️#

Calabash Literary Festival . . .
The WILDE Foundation Writing groups, JustWrite & Human Stories attended the Calabash Literary Festival in Jamaica, as part of a writing holiday that has taken 3-years for all the women to save up for.
Included in this was a visit to Kingston Craft Market, the Marcus Garvey Library and Emancipation Park.
The women tackled daily writing prompts, sharing their stories and celebrating their creativity.
This was a perfect prelude to the @hfwritersfest which is taking place 19 July at Bush Theatre.

Book launch of My Rice Is Best.
@theselinabrown put on a book launch like no other.
The reggae music filled Waterstones Book Shop on Tottenham Court Road
The author signed copies of her book - and the funniest moment was the shout-off: Jollof vs Rice and peas.
As a Yardie, I screamed rice and peas - and no one can tell me we didn’t win 👍🏽😂👍🏽
It’s your turn to shine, @theselinabrown - look forward to seeing you on the panel of Women Who Writes at @hfwritersfest in July.

BOOK LAUNCH 📖
Attended the book launch of Possibility, @sareetadomingoauthor latest book-baby and as expected, I was emerged in a sea of creativity . . . warmth, friendly banter, & lots of laughter - great to see my fellow authors @stellaonithewriter @iamlisabent . . . My awesome editor @mags_ab & every woman shining like a queen ❤️
Great gift ideas of the aromatherapy oil in that cute bottle - hoping it’s going to help me sleep, it smells divine.
And those little pastries filled with feta cheese & pistachios were delicious 🤤 lost count of how many went past my lips 🤣 along with the red wine 😉 it’s a plus that I’m working from home tomorrow 😀
It’s a great time to be a writer ✍🏽

A GREAT time to be a WRITER!
The second Friday in every month, a few writers from @jackeeholderinspires online Tuesday morning journaling workshop meet face-to-face in Leicester Square to bond, banter & socialise. The conversations: loss, grief, spirituality, life, family, children, writing festivals, interrupted by laughter & shared knowledge of the language within water. If you know, you know 😉
Writing is such a solitary activity, that every opportunity I get to vibe with writers, I grab it with both hands.
The spring 🌞 sunshine was showing off in London today, and as I made my journey to & from Leicester Square, I was met with smiles from strange & friendly faces - you see what a little sun can do 😀
I was in warm, creative & inviting company, with so much in common @bybreensamuels @janebanksiam and more who I didn’t get their insta-handles.

Bush Theatre . . . @wilde_foundation @hfwritersfest is happening here!
After hosting my Saturday morning online weekly creative writing workshop for women, (JustWrite) I headed out in the spring sunshine, which bathed London and had me feeling grateful, inspired & happy as I walked towards Westfield Shopping Centre.
On the way, I popped into the Bush Theatre where WILDE H&F Writers’ Festival will be taking place on the 19th July.
Ironically our first festival took place here in 2021. It’s a warm, creative space, which served as one of my favourite place to write my first novel.
Anyone who has experienced the creative & thriving vibe of the Bush Theatre knows what I’m talking about.
