I so look forward to these dropping into my inbox every few days. They are brave, lyrical and funny and I don't want them to end. I suppose there are only 65?
There are 65 Postcards, followed by The Recovery Diaries (all one book) - though I’ll be pausing when the 65 are out. Haven’t quite decided whether to republish the whole thing here. I’ve got other things brewing, a new novel to serialise… So glad you’re enjoying them, and told me so!
This is pure magic: "A girl who'd been sectioned in Hackney Marsh got us on a mission to that place of stopped clocks to rescue her. We danced to a broken strip light in the lift and spirited her out hidden under a blanket in the back." Gorgeous writing and I, too, am hungry for more. I'm struggling with memoir/form right now and very interested in how you're structuring this—especially the 65 postcards idea. Thanks for some lovely reading and giving me things to think about in terms of my own writing.
Thank you. Memoir comes with such big structural questions, ones I couldn't find the answer to until I forced the issue, set out to write every morning without judgement and publish that same day without looking back. If you’ve time and resources, I can recommend some memoir courses that might help focus your ideas.

Magical times really beyond description until I hear and read you recounting them and in your amazing way capturing them so perfectly! xxxxx
I’m so glad I wrote it all down. The further away it gets, the more unreal it feels. We did all that. Incredible.
Wild times. I love these stories, thank you.
Wild times indeed. Thanks for reading.
