Unsolicited writing advice, no. 21456: There are two kinds of writer: the ones who write for love, and the ones who do it to get results. In a world in which writers are paid less and less, results are often uncertain. But if you really love what you do, you'll keep going.

Another London sketch dug out of a portfolio, done on a Sunday in 1992 sitting in a doorway on Ludgate Hill looking up to St Paul's. I found another St Paul's drawing where the paper has deteriorated but this one has survived OK. #art #watercolour #enpleinair #London #StPauls

#ourworldiswonderful; our walk today took us between showers down to the river again, as the Forest of Dean was too muddy and the winds quite strong. The water was quite high and flowing fast, but the clouds broke and a tiny sliver of rainbow lit the sky on the horizon. Joyful.

Quickly popping on here to let you know the penguins are super-cheap right now! 🐧🐧🐧 www.amazon.co.uk/Call-Penguin... #Booksky #knidledeal

Growlery [GRAU-luh-ree] (n.) - A place to which to retreat, alone, when ill-humoured; a quiet sanctuary from the world. Use: “After an interminable day at work, I retreat to the growlery, where I can unleash my inner curmudgeon and grumble to myself about all the people who insist upon vexing me.”
