Gosh, Kath, these words spoke directly to a little piece of my soul that has been crying out for affirmation. In the naming and the describing of how we write; the struggles and the joys; when the inspiration rises and when it stutters to a halt, I feel, as they say, so incredibly 'seen'. I'm so glad to be able to read your words and feel huge appreciation for how generously you keep bringing yourself to the page/to the screen. Thanks for sharing this with us all. I'm certain I'll be coming back to this again as I navigate the foibles/frustrations in my own practice xx
So utterly here for all of this. It is a heart touching honour to connect in this way, Lottie. Do you also find that reading back through your own words you find a wise voice, not always accessible in the thinking mind, that is surprising and reassuring?! Embodied writing is full power. Xx
