Rachel Connor

Rachel Connor

Author of Sisterwives and Lecturer in Creative Writing, Leeds Beckett University

This was such a useful session, Jacqui. You somehow managed to get under the skin of what I’ve been struggling with and make sense of it. You offered practical suggestions (visual maps, mind maps, thinking of the shape of the year) and you understood the spiritual/emotional dimension of what writing means to me too, I think, but without us having a heavy handed discussion about this. I felt you offered a really good framework – led by me, reflective questions, making me think about my priorities – and also offered support/cheerleading as well as suggestions for how things might work more effectively. Thank you. It was great! Just what I needed…
