About Me

The author of this blog is a twenty-something slightly neurotic, seriously sleep deprived stay-at-home mum from Staffordshire in the UK.

Her days are mostly filled with doing her very best not to be too bad a mother to her rather demanding and spirited young son while stealing all available free time to write, think, grow and try to stay sane.

She recently started this blog as a way of de-stressing and providing her poor porridge-addled brain with something slightly more challenging than the usual CBeebies, thinking about what to make for tea, and wondering whether that strange stain on her trousers is breast milk, baby poo, wee, vomit or a miscellaneous food stuff.

This blog has acted as a platform for her growing passion and talent for writing, and to her surprise has developed a dedicated (and kind) following, encouraging her into the world of professional writing. Now making her first tentative steps, she is studying Creative Writing at degree level with the Open University, and throwing her self into a multitude of new projects and creative opportunities.

In between toddler wrangling she also deputy edits the Great Toy Guide and runs a popular weekly Writing Workshop here at Sleep is for the Weak.

She mostly blogs about her love of writing, being tired, toast and why on earth no-one told her motherhood was this hard.

You can contact her here or catch her on twitter where she can normally be found spouting jibberish and saying HAHA! a lot.

  • Found you through Linda Jones on FB. What a great site! I've got a 11 month old and (it's just past midnight now as I type) I'm fighting sleep to meet my deadlines (FB isn't helping, I know).

    I'll read more of your work when I'm wide awake. Love the blog title! Delusion in Year 1 works well for me :)

    Best,
    Chryselle
  • Just for you, because you deserve it and your words are wonderful indeed http://wp.me/pF4hl-5i
  • You write beautifully - humour and sparcity: a combination I rarely achieve but often aspire to.
    I would love to join our writing workshop - I need to start writing 'out' rather then further 'in', which is where I fear I am heading...
