Number 70 in my series of 100-word-long pieces for Substack. Originally published 10 years ago, when I lived in a tower block by Victoria Park. I adapted it to my current nomadic life and temporary stay in Shoreditch.

Red walls in a Brazilian guesthouse. Red light in a Shoreditch loft. Red EXIT signs in dark stairwells. Notes from 14 months of borrowed rooms and temporary homes.

Been feeling tongue-tied, written-word-blocked. I still journal, just don't feel like sharing anything online. This is a new halfway attempt. "Blank", No.69 in my 100-word series on #Substack.

It's been 68 weeks since I started posting 100-word pieces on #Substack that explore my life between Brazil and the UK. They can be read in any order, or no order at all. Thank you to those of you returning every week to check them out!
