Writing toward the endless horizon: Landscape with Landscape by Gerald Murnane roughghosts.com/2026/01/26/w...
Towards the end of last year my girls, years 6 and 10, admitted to me that they hated English at school. It's truly awful what they have to go through: the slow, slow torture of being explained to how to write a sentence. It's not the teachers' fault. Just a low howl of pain for them all.

I often feel needlessly oppressed when I read writers talking about how they write, let alone their actual advice. So at the end of my book of essays I think I should add:
'And this is how it was for me. It may not be so for you. Let nothing that I say here restrict you in your art.'
