'Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again'
So, after 10 long years we’re finally back on the island of Kalokairi with our favourite all-singing, all-dancing friends. I don’t know about you but the first film was the best I’ve ever seen. It truly is one of the most iconic of my generation. It picks you up when you’re feeling down, it's the best kind of film to watch on a sick day. I mean who doesn’t love a bit of ABBA to cheer them up—especially with this cast singing it. Thus, when it was announced that after a decade of waiting they would be releasing a second one, I was apprehensive. What if it didn’t live up to the first?

The Shocking Messages We Are Sending Our Children
It recently came to my attention that the number of children’s books containing female protagonists is alarmingly low. My mother sent me a video with some disturbing statistics about the lack of female role models in children’s literature, urging me to start writing children’s books. We know that stereotypes develop early-on. Socialisation as children is a huge part of determining how men and women will be treated as adults. Therefore, it is shocking to see how men and women are portrayed and how young boys and girls are being socialised into seeing these grossly unfair stereotypes as normal.

How to Get Through Writer's BlockTop Story - January 2018
I think it's fair to say that every writer feels the panic of not being able to think up new and original ideas. Being a writer is hard. There are so many writers constantly having new and brilliant ideas, and so it's understandable that we freak out sometimes when we’re struggling with the age-old curse that is writer’s block.
