Sonic Pi is a live coding music synthesiser that allows you to write music with just a few lines of code. I've always been a lover of music. In fact, when I was 10 I used to try composing songs with Music Maker on my family PC and writing nonsense lyrics to instrumental songs (none …

For the first time in a long time I'm in the middle of a writing project I'm really passionate about, and while it took a while for me to get there there were steps I took that I believe really helped me.

Happy Ada Lovelace Day! For those of you who might not be familiar with what today represents, Ada Lovelace Day is a celebration of women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths).

The things I put in my moodboard reflect that. I've been buying myself flowers, and over the weekend …

When I was younger, I used go on family holidays during August, and now I’m older (and without my travel being limited to the school holidays), I still think of August as a time for adventure, albeit …
