Notes on Not Knowing is a newsletter about navigating uncertainty (aka life) and trying to have faith.
This newsletter is about how to accept yourself: quirks, trauma, disability, gifts and all. I will share lessons, victories and failures in my quest for more authenticity and joy, in the hope you will do the same and we will create a helpful feedback loop for ourselves.
I aim to publish every Monday, though consistency is my kryptonite. Wish me luck!
Subscribe if you want more self-acceptance, joy and fun, and less perfectionism, people-pleasing and despair.
Also, if you like silly drawings.
About me
I’m an award-winning novelist, senior lecturer in Creative Writing at UWE and full-time uncertain person. I say, ‘I don’t know’ a lot.
Here’s a rave review of my first book, Infinite Sky, in the Guardian, in case that impresses you. (I have to admit, it still impresses me.)
I’m currently working on a memoir/guidebook about getting sober and discovering I’m neurodiverse AF - Beautiful Hangover: how late autism/ADHD diagnosese helped me make peace with a drunken past, as well as a new novel about motherhood, friendship and psychopathy.
