Tell me about your
story in Aftermath - but don't give any
spoilers!
I contributed a
blog post to the Aftermath collection (https://ihaveanideablog.wordpress.com/).
It’s called ‘In Case I Forget’ and includes the things I learnt from the
pandemic and lockdowns.
What inspired you
to write this?
A lot of the blog
posts I write are as much to remind myself of things as they are to share
with others. There are some aspects of the situation that I want to
remember, particularly the things I’m grateful for. I’d found myself compiling a
list in my mind while I took my daily walk and rushed home to write them down!
Why did you think
it important to contribute to this collection?
Gill always
produces such beautiful books. In the case of both Covid 19: An Extraordinary
Time and Aftermath, I love how they’re like a time capsule. They’ll
be fascinating to reread in the future.
How have you coped
with the pandemic?
Not bad, thanks.
How about you? I’m fairly introverted and spend a lot of time at home, so it
wasn’t too difficult during lockdown…mostly. It hit me hard sometimes, out of
nowhere, and then I felt grief. It’s the little things I missed. Sometimes you
just need comforting hugs from your best friends.
Can you tell us
about your other publications?
I’m blessed to
have stories in numerous publications and have a list of them here on my
writing/editing website (https://www.hannahretallick.co.uk/about), including
links to anthologies and free story publications online. Feel free to scroll
down and browse!
Thanks for having
me back on your blog, Gill. It’s been a pleasure, as always. And thank you for
including me in this lovely collection.
