We have a birthday in the house, so I baked a cake 🎂 It’s pecan and ginger, with a meringue-style frosting and is dairy free to boot! Looking forward to trying this later. #dairyfree #dairyfreebaking #birthdaycake #creativity

Treated to a beautiful sunrise on the way to school today. It was as if the sky was lit by fire. Very inspiring. #sunrise #inspiring #morningsky

Happy Friday! This is what I’ll hopefully be doing today, as I’m going to a goal setting workshop. Always good to get things clear in your mind at the beginning of the year don’t you think? Start as you mean to go on, and all that. #goals #goalsetting #newyearnewgoals #fridayfeels #storymakers #officetribe #tunbridgewells

Do you enjoy promoting what you do to your customers? It’s hard not to feel like you’re banging on about it all the time, which is why I like this quote. Hopefully, through my posts, you get a sense of my enthusiasm for what I do. #storymakers #writing #author #creative #marketing

The other day, my son and I saw a dragon dodging a spear over Hildenborough. True story! We tried to decide if the spear had actually caught him or not and why he was being chased. #imagine #imagination #imaginationiseverything #storymakers #sevenoaks #creativewriting #creativewritingclub

I went to a school last week and spoke to the children about imagination. How important it is and how much harder it can be as a grown up if you stop using it. #imagination #neverstopbelieving #storycreator #author #storymakers #schoolvisit #authorsintoschools #contactanauthor

We started the new term of Storymakers with some winter-inspired writing. There were grey wolves, harpy seals and a musk ox, as the Story Writers began to come up with their character ideas. The Writer Buds focused on New Year’s resolutions and wrote about how they feel about the start of a new year whilst reflecting on their favourite part of the year that we’ve left behind. #storymakers #storywriters #writerbuds #creativewriting #creativewritingclub #getkidswriting #sevenoaks

What will you try out, or do differently this year? With two books coming out, I’m stepping up the number of school visits I do. I love my studio. It’s small, safe and full of creative energy. I love teaching the kids who come there and nurturing their imaginations, but doing that on a larger scale at a school is another thing altogether. It has a totally different vibe - noisy, crazy, full of energy. This year is going to be buzzing! #storymakers #storymakersontheroad #authorsintoschools #authorvisits #creativewriting #creativewritingfun

It’s not easy to exercise positivity in the depths of winter. It’s dark outside, blowing a gale and feels like we should be tucked up in bed. Take care, whatever you’re doing or wherever you’re going today. #winterishere #winterblues #positivevibes #storymakers

I’ve been writing, in various guises, for over a decade. It’s a life full of rejection and criticism. Not for everybody. But it’s a lesson in resilience and determination that I’m stronger because of. Now, I’m the author of two books and a business owner. You don’t get that by giving up easily. #storymakerswritingclub #author #writer #muminbusiness #determination #drivetosucceed

I love this quote because it’s very close to my heart. It sums up how I feel about my first published book. Fear of failure can definitely hold you back, but sometimes you have to let go of that fear. If I hadn’t done that, this book wouldn’t have been published and that would be a crying shame! It also sums up, perfectly, the premise of this book, which very much centres on self-belief. Buy this book online at all major book retailers, or from my bookshop on www.nikkiyoung.co.uk/shop. #justdoit #selfbelief #confidence #writer #author #kidlit #childrensbooks #bookstagram

Back in the studio today for a workshop with a group of children who wanted to practice creative writing for a school entrance exam. We wrote a story about being lost in a desert and caught in a sandstorm, as well as a descriptive piece about a snow day. There are all sorts of ways to hone your creative writing skills with the Storymakers Writing Club. Why don’t you join us? #storymakers #lovewriting #getkidswriting #creativewriting #creativewritingclub

It’s always good to challenge yourself creatively.
This week, we did some pottery painting. I haven’t done this in years and my ten year old has never done it. He really enjoyed it though, as did we all. These are the pre-glazed articles. Looking forward to seeing them when they’ve been fired. #potterypainting #gettingcreative #creativity

I’ve been getting creative with the Christmas wrapping this year. Brown paper, tissue, ribbon, string and labels made from last year’s Christmas cards. #christmaswrapping

Creativity not only uses the imagination, it teaches us to look beyond the obvious. Our children need to be creative thinkers in order to be the entrepreneurs, the tech creators, the architects, the inventors, of the future. Creative writing is one way to allow them the opportunity to enhance their creative brain. Why am I showing you a picture of two fried eggs? It’s because I look at these and I see a devil’s head, or an owl’s face. Looking beyond the obvious, see? That’s what creativity can do. #creativityiskey #exercisingthecreativebrain #creativewriting #creativewritingtutor #storymakers #imagination #lookbeyondtheobvious
