Happy World Book Day!

I was asked by a school down here in the Westcountry to do a little video for them answering questions they asked me ...

1.) What inspires you each day to write?
2.) How do you get started with creating a character?
3.) How important are your senses for creative writing?
4.) How do you begin planning your stories?
5.) What advice would you give to a student (who doesn’t like reading) to start writing.

So here are my answers! Please feel free to add your own answers to any of the Qs in the comments. Look fwd to reading them! 😊 ... See MoreSee Less

It's that time of year when I review Bang2write content across my pages, profiles and groups. If you're on Twitter, I'd appreciate a vote in my poll please! You can find it here >> twitter.com/Bang2write/status/1366703576672858112.

B2W is for YOU, so please feel free to let me know your comments and suggestions too. For example, I am constantly tweaking based on engagement so a while ago I discontinued my 'themed weeks' on this page when people stopped engaging with it. Did you notice? Do you wish they were back? Or do you prefer more memes these days?

If you're not on Twitter, no problem - let me know in this thread instead.

Not much room in the actual poll so for anyone wanting clarification about what 'rants' means:

Rants includes social justice commentary (serious) and randomness about kids, sex, life (unserious).

Also, some are hitting 'Other' because it's all of the above for them, so feel free to do that too. ... See MoreSee Less

HANDS UP if you have waaaaaay more than a dozen 'needlessly expensive' notebooks 🙋‍♀️😆

@ericsmithrocks:

Please stop putting "aspiring writer" in your bio, friends.

You don't have to be published to call yourself a
writer.

If you have a dozen unused needlessly expensive notebooks and a desire to purchase more, you're a writer. ... See MoreSee Less

When is 'white history month'?? OH THAT'S RIGHT - EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

Yup! Contrary to popular belief, white supremacy does **not** take February (USA) or October (UK) off during Black History Month.

Imagine being this person I came across recently who finds it 'disagreeable' and 'excluding' when black people - and presumably other marginalised groups - get the spotlight for once.

Presumably she would dislike LGBTQ History month or Pride too!

Dominant voices need to understand that celebrating marginalised people is NOT exclusion. It is the literal opposite.

What's more, if dominant voices are to WALK THE WALK on #Diversity (instead of just talking about it), then we need to give up some of our power.

Put simply, we need to MAKE ROOM.

This is not rocket science. Even children know how to share! ... See MoreSee Less
