What's in this episode:

Kat explains how journalling has helped her through difficult times and was her route into her writing career. She includes the journalling she does today as part of her writing practice.

We also explore why it's important to reflect real life in fiction, as well as how balancing life and writing is always tricky. For Kat it's a mixture of taking advice of others and applying it to her own live.

She explains too when she went from feeling she could never write like her heros, to thinking how can she learn how to write like them. This change in mindset was key to her developing her own writing craft.
