Writing is my voice and I just love writing with a 2B pencil. My thoughts seem to flow naturally from pencil to paper, the soft lead making it easier and faster to write. Sometimes there’s a tumble of thoughts, adjectives, verbs, nouns all mixed up, my handwriting almost unrecognisable.

There’s this need to write. I’ve got many stories to tell: of love, of laughter and of heartbreak with a dollop of self reflection, sprinkled with wisdom.

These pencils are my lifeline. For me to be truly heard, let me write. It’s the voice that I trust, it’s the voice that is most powerful, it’s the voice that is most beautiful, which is why I treasure silence.

What inspires you to write?
