Thank you for this, Amanda. It's comforting to read as I am definitely in a fallow period right now. I've come to accept that life is taking up so much of my head space for now that there just isn't room for anything else. I think I've written one short story in the last year, which did make it onto the RW Annual prize shortlist and arrived on the page almost fully formed. So, this seems to validate the idea that so much is happening in the subconscious mind, while the conscious mind is either busy elsewhere or just plain exhausted!
You are busy filling up, Rachel, and lots will be going on even though you don't feel like it is. And when the time is right your words will come again. It's lovely to see you here. I am going to email you soon as I will be down your way in April and hoped we could get together while I'm there. A x
Thank you <3 Yes, please do let me know when you're coming. And give me plenty of notice (if you can) so I can conjure walls of protection around the date! It will be lovely to see you x
