My inspiration often comes from people telling me that my posts have helped them. I write about difficult subject matter - including ableism, discrimination, disability rights and living with chronic illness. It can often feel like shouting into a void.
When someone tells me a post resonated - or that it put into words everything they’ve been feeling but couldn’t say - that’s a HUGE source of inspiration.
I’m also inspired by music - especially showtunes. There’s something about the way they’re written and the amount of emotion in the songs that always brings me back to the page.
Ha! That’s impossible! There’s just too many! I’m a total geek for anything Sondheim. Les Miserables was my first and probably my favourite - I’ve always been an Eponine girl. RENT got me through the death of my Mom and I love to rock out to Out Tonight. Adored Next to Normal, Spring Awakening and Newsies as well. There are very few musicals I don’t like!
Woohoo! Go Team Epo! I actually got to cover the broadway revival of Les Mis as a theatre critic. Met the whole cast! And Rebecca Caine (original cosette in London) is a dear friend. She took me on a picnic in Regent’s Park in London and sang to me like a Disney princess!

You didn't mention a favorite showtune, and you know I want to know.

OH MY GOD. I have adored Eponine forever. Are we twins??
