About

Starsheep ⭐🐑

Career creative. Imported into fiction writing directly from marketing. Previous career: copywriter & illustrator, after a start in showbiz. Non-binary, autistic queer descended from Vikings and one Polish horse thief. Believer in lust as much as love. Greatest obsession: brave truths. Happiest when: sitting down with an iced mocha and infusing stories with poetry. Favourite thing to do on a Sunday: having the last of the tiramisu for breakfast & a sinful little book in the sunshine. Reasons for writing books: unapologetic SF/F nerd who doesn't know how to survive reality without fantasy.

How I use metaphors with grace to liven up my writing

The problem with NaNoWriMo and how it can be toxic to aspiring novelists

And the world was beautiful

She is no creature, she is creative

Feminist rant. Don’t read if you’re squeamish.

Some sort of change is working in me

An idea is beginning to take shape in my mind

How beautiful it would be to flow like water

A letter to solitude
