Hi there, I’m Helen. I have always loved writing; anything from stories and articles to limericks in birthday cards. I find the creative process of starting with a blank page, gradually piecing words together, and discovering what works and what doesn’t, as therapeutic as a jigsaw puzzle. As a writer for The Roots Of Loneliness Project, I hope readers will find my words insightful, informative and interesting. Failing that, hopefully, they make you smile.
