Author: Sophie J Clark
Hi, I'm Sophie. I'm a cis-woman, polyamorous and pansexual as well as an author with a degree in counselling, and a general love of philosophy...and history. I like to look on the brighter side of life, whilst happily delving into the darker aspects of humanity. The world is far too interesting to be black and white!
What’s Enough?
"What's Enough?" It's a question I've been facing a lot lately... I've been writing. I've been writing a lot, but it isn't bringing in money right now. #T3ddyTalk #Writing #SophieJClark
What I’ve Learned from Writing Excuses
Writing Excuses is one of the few podcasts I listen to nowadays. So, why is that, and what has it taught me? #T3ddyTalk #SophieJClark

Optimism, what is it good for?
I’m an Optimist. I always have been. I see no point in spending most of your life miserable and focussing on every little thing that could possibly go wrong…in order to prepare yourself for when things do go wrong. Yes, you need a certain amount of knowledge and a little bit of thought must be given over to ‘what if this happens’, but after that?
Thought of the Day #11
Teddy put up a writing prompt in our group chat today. It said: "Prompt 11: These are my rules for writing and life. 1. 2. 3. 4." It got me thinking. I really don’t have many ‘rules’ that I live by. Not for my writing, nor for my everyday life, but I have developed a few guidelines over the past few years.
Thinking, Writing and Habit Formation
I set myself a goal last year. A goal of typing a minimum of 300 words a day, every day, for a year. Most of the days, I'd sit there and stare at the blank page, telling myself, "It's only 300 words, it’s fine..."
Doubt and Labels: What defines you?
Trapped. How many of us feel it? How many of us focus on anything, but what is holding us in place? How many of us feel the grasping tendrils and thorns of fear tearing at our ankles…then consciously decide to turn a blind eye because it’s easier to take the known pain than the unknown risk?
My Female Problem – No, not that one
It’s quite an embarrassing one, given who I am and what I do; but they say the way to solve any problem is first to admit that you have one, so here goes...
