A cup of tea with magic inside (no, not vodka)

Thank you is too small for what I imagine this podcast must take. Dear M, L and J, what wisdom, clarity, comfort and wit you bring to my walks. I return back to the keyboard with a smile or a heart full of understanding for what you’re feeling and experiencing. Thank you for your bravery and courage!! For turning up and putting it out there and making your journey part of something far bigger for many other writers. Oh this mysterious world of storytelling that pulls us in, little minx that she is! We wrestle her together. That urge to write… how we flail about with it, trying to find the truths of life…..on budget. Lucy Flanagan

I love this podcast and listen regularly. Incredibly helpful. I’m relatively new to writing and am so grateful that a show like this exists. The insights are great and have encouraged me on many days when I have thought of quitting.
Life Lessons from TSL
30 Apr
I just wanted to pop on here to say a massive THANK YOU to the entire TSL team! I started listening to your podcasts about a year ago, playing catch up at every given opportunity, knowing I’d be starting my Masters this autumn. Well, the term is now well underway and, even as an emerging writer on a course filled with industry professionals, I don’t feel like an imposter! I did, even applying for the course felt audacious, but I’m holding my own and getting great feedback. So thank you all, not only for holding my hand as I drafted, carded, outlined, wrote, rewrote, and rewrote some more, but for helping me see that as a win, not a sign that I’m not good enough. As a final note, the podcasts have also seeped into our family life - my teenagers now quote ‘Perfection is the killer of creativity’ podcast and understand, from the heart, that your first go at something is not your best go. Thank you from us all :-)
180+ episodes in and I’m finally leaving a review!
