Claire has enjoyed reading, writing and storytelling from a young age. She has incorporated it into her work and leisure time and even considered pursuing a full time career in writing. By comparison, poetry was a form of writing which developed 'rather spontaneously'. Claire made a promise to herself that she would try to publish some work as part of a ""20 things for 2020"" pact. The COVID pandemic has delayed this, but she is excited that she can share her work in this way now.
