Your writing is always motivating, thank you Amanda. I've been procrastinating about writing my first book but partly is because of lack of enough clarity of mind due to the constant noises from making a living.

This rings very true, Amanda, although I don't write fiction my writing does come from a truth I am experiencing in the moment. I also wanted to say, I finished reading Pressure Drop and really enjoyed it. I wanted it to go on, to become a novel, but it is also so perfectly formed as it is. Thank you.

This couldn't have come at a better time - I'm slowly realising how much I need to face my truth and gain the courage to tell it. Ive spent the morning taking a poem from being about birds to its true self. It was painful. Courage is needed - knowing others feel the same is invaluable.

Yes I feel it’s hard to reach those truths because they can be very frightening. It takes a lot of courage to do that and I can see you’re leading the way by speaking out, Amanda. Making yourself vulnerable is very brave. Inspiring us to dig deeper to find what’s true. Thank you x

Good point, Amanda. I wish I could get there… I’d still like to see my other novels in print, and that’s getting in the way of my writing!

I’m not a fiction writer, but I agree that the practice of looking at myself, how i work and what I believe, is essential to my writing. And my writing helps me to do this as it doesn’t work if I don’t, just as you say!
