Welcome to 52 Shorts! This is my little corner of the internet, where I’m holding myself accountable to rebuild my creative writing muscle. My plan is simple: write something—anything—once a week. It’s a journey to fall back in love with writing and creativity. Join me as I dive into different topics, styles, and ideas, one short piece at a time. I’m thrilled to have you along for the ride!

ABOUT ME

Kia ora

I'm Yumi and this blog is my creative experiment—a place where I’m challenging myself to rekindle my passion for writing. Each week, I venture into uncharted territory, playing with fresh ideas, styles, and themes. It’s all about discovering new ways to express myself and embracing the joy of creativity. I’d love for you to join me and see where this journey takes us.

Outside of writing I’m a mum of three, partner, dedicated dog owner and perimenopausal woman who loves cooking, dancing, reading, and playing with all kinds of art and creative mediums.

Professionally, I hold a PhD in Social Anthropology and have an eclectic career dominated by community centred projects and a passion for researching and understanding lived experiences and whānau voice. My work spans local and central government, education and health contexts in Aotearoa New Zealand. It’s been an enriching journey that continues to shape my perspectives and creativity.

Thanks for joining me. Let’s see where this adventure takes us!
