I really enjoyed this course last year! Definitely recommend 🙂
I’m running a non fiction course again this autumn.
You can join me as I finish the 1st draft of my book, file a travel commission to a VERY tight deadline & deliver an essay for a collection I kind of forgot.
Read here for what course actually entails. ⬇️

39. THE CORNER THAT HELD THEM by Sylvia Townsend Warner. A 1948 historical novel set in a small 14th-century Norfolk convent is something you might easily overlook, were it not for the Backlisted episode that convinced me to give it a go. Very glad I did. www.backlisted.fm/episodes/242...

'Dandelions,' was painted by the Danish artist Bertha Wegmann around 1910. It wasn't an arbitrary choice of a plant to paint: the dandelion was used to promote the women’s liberation movement in Scandinavia because of its capacity for uncontrolled, strong-willed growth.

Pause, breathe, reset.
Whenever you feel overwhelm creeping over you, return to your breathing and come back to the present moment. Even a couple of minutes of mindful breathing can ease the anxiety. May your day be calm. ☺️

I think this is going to be my book of the year. Just exquisite. I could underline every sentence. Don’t know whether to seethe with jealousy or just bow down and worship. Andrew Miller. Genius.
