It's April.
01st April 2022
Hi, Welcome to this month's blog.
In the UK we’ve had quite a mixture of weather over the past couple of days: sun, wind, rain both slight and torrential, sleet, and snow. Last week we were walking around in T-shirts and today we’re back in scarves. But isn’t that the way with Spring?
It occurred to me this morning how the weather is such a good metaphor for writing. Words can fall out of us like a torrential downpour, or they can flutter through our fingers onto the screen like a snow flurry. They make us feel energised as though we’ve been injected with a blast of sunshine, or it can make us feel scattered-brained, as if the wind has blown away our prompt leaving us entirely foggy-minded. Even images of thunderstorms seem to aptly illustrate our relationship with words at times.
March saw a heap of personal celebrations within my family, so much so that it was a whirlwind of excitement. Now, at the start of April, I wonder what this month will bring?
One thing that’s certainly keeping my attention is my newest service, a little ray of sunshine that you’ll see it mentioned on my website. If you sign up to my monthly newsletter, you’ll get first dibs on the special offers attached to it. Either sign up via my website or email me sarah@loveofbooks.co.uk with SUBSCRIPTION in the header. I’ll talk more about it more in the next blog.
That’s probably enough weather-related excitement for one blog post. I hope the sun shines of you wherever you are, and your writing follows suit.
Until next time,
Sjb 😉
