Hello Detectives,

I hope you’re all OK! I’ve made a video all about writing a diary – why you might want to do it right now, why I think it’s better to imagine your diary as research than as a story you’re telling and why it’s important to record what’s happening to you. This is all in support of Kathryn Evans’ and Candy Gourlay’s Our Corona Diary project – to find out more, visit the website.

My book recommendation for this video is Dodie Smith’s I Capture the Castle (13+), and if you want to use your writing time to create fiction, you can follow all of my writing prompts by clicking on the ‘writing prompt Mondays’ tag.

Stay safe and keep on being amazing!
