Jenny’s Notebook

Contemplating
In this reflective entry, Jenny Benham invites us into the inner world of the writer — where ideas stir, self-doubt lingers, and the first word waits to be written. Jenny speaks honestly about procrastination, courage, and the quiet persistence needed to move stories from mind to paper. If you’ve ever wrestled with the desire to write, or felt unsure if your words mattered, this piece will remind you that every story begins with a single, imperfect, brave first step.

In hospital again

My heart sinks but only a week ago I was watching the sun rise stretch across the sea.
