Where I like to write
Not only is Gunnersbury Park in West London brilliant for showing off your knitwear, it鈥檚 also a great place to get away from the London-ness of where I live. For this particular piece, I also found some mirroring between theme and place. The park estate is currently under renovation, the old buildings, such as the bath-house and the watchtower are coming back to life, the old kitchen vegetable garden is now a community garden for green-fingered locals with no outdoor space of their own. As I was writing about loss of character in Duck, Duck, Goose, the park in which I wrote much of it was rediscovering its own character around me.

What I鈥檝e gained from this experience
This has been a unique opportunity to see my own work through the eyes of a 成人快手 producer. The added professional perspective on my work has changed the way in which I approach my own writing. It has certainly opened my eyes to opportunities that are waiting, and on how they are best approached. More than anything, it has reset my focus on the fundamental points of writing.
