A personal note about beginning again, the fear of being dismissed, and the work that waited until I was ready to stop hiding.

All I did as a girl was write. Stories about magic vegetables and shipwrecks, in little books my mum made from old wallpaper. I think I have found my way back to being a writer, just not in the way I expected.
