This week my mate Nathan came to visit me here in Liverpool and we had one of those conversations about life and creativity and forging your own path in this world that was so good I wanted to share some of it with you here, in the hopes that it will get you buzzing too!
So true, I was written off by middle class establishment many years ago, and although I resented it at the time, it's very satisfying to forge a path of one's own....
Thankyou Siobhan. There's lots to think about here. Important to nurture my own voice. As generally happens you've provided another piece to my jigsaw puzzle. I've been writing this morning. Paused for reflection and found your latest Wanderstruck
Another beauty for us all to ponder. Thank you but you have left me needing more info - what happened to the young girl you helped get her work experience? X
Energetic joy emanates from all of your stories! I see that the UK is still very governed by a class system, which I know it used to be, but I didn’t really know how much it was now. And yes, to all the different and unique voices that need to be heard. Lives and views that need expression. You remind us that all literature touches people and changes lives. Thank you!
Ah, thank you so much! And yes sadly the class system is still very much alive here. That's one of the reasons I love coming to America - I've always felt that I can dream bigger there ❤️

Thank you! Sadly I lost contact with her eventually but I like to think / hope that the experience helped her when it came to future work etc x

I have to agree Linda, more so as I've got older.
