Hi! I'm Claire, the writer behind Words for the Restless. Writing has always been my passion.  From a very early age, I wrote stories and poems and fell in love with creative writing. As I progressed through education, I wrote less creatively, but still loved the buzz of crafting something amazing. I always journaled in my diary-this was and still is my release. 

Fast forward...and a natural progression into the world of being an editor (for 18 years now). Unfortunately, as the pressures and demands of life took their toll (sound familiar?), there was a time when I didn't write outside the requirements of my job. I fell into a dark place and found myself too busy to do anything but work. Then around two years ago, as I began to learn more about myself and how my life could be truly fulfilling I connected with poetry and writing again. This literally switched on the light that went outside. 

I'm fascinated every day by the emotional release that writing offers. I truly believe that anyone can be a writer in this sense. Writing has changed my life and I'm passionate about crafting words to offer others comfort, calm, encouragement, or inspiration. 

I don't offer fancy extras like pictures or mugs with my work. Instead you will get my full attention to focus purely on crafting and refining the words.
