A hammock and a book—my favourite place to be on a hot July day— (I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith—a perennial fave) Welcome! I am excited about this newsletter! There is so much in it, it almost needs a TOC. Starting with the closer, and not to miss (so scroll down, if short on time)
On using a familiar word in a new way, this leaped (leapt?) out at me from a piece that discussed AM’s advice to “write when you can” (as opposed to the usual advice of “write every day”):
Munro’s advice is an invitation to step away from “should-ing” all over yourself. It’s an invitation for grace. Write when you can.
A very thought provoking discussion! Thank you Alison & John.
John’s tenacity is inspiring and discouraging at the same time. But all’s well etc. Congrats.
