um who what from who what or where do you get your inspiration for your uh creative way obviously you know you were inspired by your own journey for your memoir but say for um short stories or the fiction you're now writing or maybe even your dance as well like what are the things that inspire you

It's hard sometimes to get inspiration.

I spent all of last year writing a 100-word story every single day because of all these competitions that I do.

They give you word prompts, but sometimes it's hard to come up with something.

Sometimes the prompts are so obscure.

You just think, I don't know what I'm going to do with this.

I've got to set it on a football field.

yeah yeah yeah um tell me if you were to be having a chat with someone who um is either new to creative work whether that's writing or dancing or whatever or someone who was kind of in a um you know i guess stuck what wisdom would you want to share with them i

a

lie.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think so.

So going back, I've always kept journals.

I have a suitcase full of journals.

And I don't talk about this actually.

This is the first time I've talked about this because somebody else mentioned their journals in an interview and I was like, I have a suitcase full that I wrote and I can't bring myself to, you know, throw them away.

um I just said tell me you just mentioned children's books
