i think about this louise bourgeois interview like once a week

A year ago today I left Svalbard. In my diary, I wrote: ‘The art/writing worlds starts to feel like an interconnected web which I’m a part of. Keep reminding myself: allow your body to take up space. Also: allow your work to take up space.’

I have so much love for village life. Yes we are creepily obsessed with scarecrows but tonight we put on an incredible show, the kids loved being chased by a dalek, and I danced in public!

Happy paperback publication day to Polly Atkin's Some Of Us Just Fall! This is such an excellent book, and one I highly recommend. Congratulations Polly!
