This was such a hoot to read your junk journal and I know it could not have been easy to share . However, it’s this is another avenue you could explore , in a diary format? Readers are always curious to know about writers writing processes. Now I do not feel alone when it’s simply so normal as a writer to go through the ups and downs in our own writers way.

I was so thrilled to see Enid Blyton’s cards! Is this your cryptic way of saying , this is your next non- fiction project? Please say yes!

I’m definitely excited to see how this progresses over time. I’m not clever enough to be cryptic 🤣, but yes, I’m sure she’ll be written about at some point!

These junk journals are brilliant, Helen! I think it’s just as enlightening for you to realise how much you’ve done/thought/researched/actioned in a week! 🙌🏻🍄

It’s always more than I think or give myself credit for!

My thoughts, exactly. As I read your post (wonderful, by the way) I thought here is the one thing Helen has been so focused on for a while now, and the entry for 4-4:30 June 4 was a mere 'big tick'! Girl! Congratulations! Those were two giant steps in all the daily little steps we take when we keep showing up and keep doing what we do. Sorry about the bad start to things on Monday, but, wow, how you rallied! I hope to be hearing you giving yourself some high praise next time. I know you deserve it and I want you to remember it. Another inspiring post. Thank you❣️
