Nicky, our writing tutor said keep a Writer’s journal over the Christmas break and sent us three excerpts from writer’s journals – this an excerpt from mine – to help us along the way.  Virginia Woolf, Derek Jarman and Witold Gombrowicz.  In addition, alone, I’m studying the language of Shakespeare.  Think I’ve overloaded my mind. Continue reading “Lute Afoot”
