What gets me about writing books is this. I sit and mull over ideas and then filter. It’s a brutal but exciting process. ‘Is the thought I’m having right now something someone I’ll never meet with laugh at?’ Or is just heading to the bin? #writing #kidswriter #devon #devonwriter #booksky

Morning all. Heading into #Exeter this morning on the train, while mentally plotting the twists and turns of #CrooksandNannies2. Don’t worry there’ll be a lot of #slime too. #saturday #writer #devon #booksky #kidsauthor
