Rose Wilding, a North East author who just published her debut novel Speak Of The Devil, is going to share her experience of writing with her recently diagnosed ADHD, and some tips for other writers who are also living with ADHD.

When Rose was in school, she used to daydream a lot, staring out of the window during the lessons but since she was quite an academic student, no one thought she could possibly have ADHD.

“Diagnosing ADHD in adults is more difficult because there's some disagreement about whether the list of symptoms used to diagnose children and teenagers also applies to adults” - NHS

When Rose talked about her tips, she mentioned her medication and the Pomodoro Technique  which is a time management method where you work for 25 minutes then have a 5 minutes break. She recommended Forest app which is designed to work along side with the Pomodoro Technique.

“All of my anxiety had gone, and I just feel so calm, so able to sit down and do what I need to do.” Rose said ADHD medication is such a big help for her while writing.
