About

Gwen Richards, Thirty-one year old writer and personal blogger from North East England.

Gwen Richards, nice to meet you.

I’ve always loved writing, I’ve always written stories, poems, lyrics, and diaries and I even love writing essays! (Bonkers right?)

Writing has always been something I’ve done, even when I was a child, and when life gets hard, it’s writing that always holds me and helps me get back on track.

In 2020 my life got turned upside down and as I always do, I turned to writing and I wrote my first novel and began my personal blog.

Writing a personal blog to me, means writing with no guards up, putting myself into a text box, and letting others read it.

I have overcome social anxiety, depression, and the effects of an emotionally abusive relationship. I suffered a baby loss. I suffered the loss of friends and family and I studied counselling on and off for seven years. Over time I will share elements of my life through my writing in the hope I can make sure no one feels alone in the chaos or isolation.

Feel free to follow my personal blog or social media, and please don’t be afraid to comment, I would love to talk to you!
