A book for anyone whose ill-health, life-limiting condition, or life situation has left them wondering if they can call themselves a writer.

A book for anyone whose ill-health, life-limiting condition, or life situation has left them wondering if they can call themselves a writer. The answer is yes: we can write well no matter what constraints life imposes upon us or how little energy we have.

Award-winning author Sandra Jensen has lived with chronic health conditions for decades. Here she offers a tried-and-tested, bitesize approach to developing the confidence, tools and encouragement to write and keep writing no matter what else is happening in your life or body. This book invites you to meet the blank page with a sense of play, without judgement, and let the muse do the rest. You will find here the exhilaration and freedom of writing without expectation: a sometimes life-changing experience. So go ahead: write for joy; write for wellbeing; write for art. Your voice, and your experience, matter.
