Chloe Heuch is a writer living in North Wales and has just published her debut novel, Too Dark to See. Having always had a passion for writing. she completed an MA in creative writing and has had short stories and poems published. Currently, Chole divides her time between her family, writing and  teaching part-time.

Longstanding friends since university, Margaret and Chloe explore living as a creative in the world today. They discuss how real life can interrupt and delay creative output. The interruptions can be in the form of motherhood, being a primary care-giver. financial problems, health issues, single parenthood, etc.

It's interesting  to hear them discuss how Tilly Olsen's book, Silences, is still relevant today. Among other things Tilly talks about how female writers in the past have had other roles such as motherhood, partners, carers, etc and how these roles took precedence and society valued them more than seeing women as a writer. These roles create a 'silence' in terms of creative output. They also explore how it is possibly less gender-related in today's world - really any primary carer will experience these constraints .

Do their thoughts on materialism and what is important to lead a happy, contented and fulfilled life resonate with you?

If you'd like to hear some tips on how to carve out time for your creative self without feeling guilty, take the time to listen in! It is important for your well-being!
