This is a place where you will find me writing about nature in my parish on the edge of Dartmoor. But it also a place where you will find me thinking and writing, about writing about nature. Thinking about writing, full stop. The more I write and the more I learn about the writing craft, the more I understand that to think about writing is as important a task as the former. Forgive the digression, but I’d like to share some of the process I’ve been working through this month.
I feel as though I've been offered time-lapse moments of your day-to-day life on the edge of Dartmoor. I love this reading about your thinking about your writing, leaving me thinking about my writing. I think that artists make beautiful sketches before a painting - but the sketches, or 'work in progress', are valuable - just like your 5 things are.
Oh that ending, ‘Something close will be lost. Something quiet, small, secretive will begin to fade.’
This is so very true. I love the gentleness of this piece. X
Beautiful writing, Lynne
