I write. Research. Write a bit more. Collaborate in live art. Write. Give public lectures, seminars and enrichment experiences. Write. Co-devise and deliver creative methods workshops. Write. Coach postgrad students. And write. Always at that bloody laptop. (Ask the dog, who leaps up and nips me when it’s time to stand up and go walking).
