It's hard to see that myself, naturally I guess.<br /><br />Am glad that writing is happening for you. I haven't of course forgotten TWR - I know you understand it might take me a little while. And it's true to say I AM looking forward to it - to picking up the story again.<br /><br />With love<br />Rxrosellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00971482422276765335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055598777203654547.post-17852663335652067302014-12-07T10:33:11.404+00:002014-12-07T10:33:11.404+00:00As you know, this is very close to my heart, Rosel...As you know, this is very close to my heart, Roselle, especially now – preparing to write (TWR) and all the grief that threatens to overwhelm it and me. The extract is wonderful – I remember it well from reading the Burning Ground some time – last year. What is particularly true for me is the numbness, the detachment from oneself and the claustrophobic pressing-in of physical details around. In my experience, these vivid details become, with time, a comforting, if smartingly painful, memorial of the time, the loss, the person lost.<br />I found the above, reading it for a second time, all the more poignant, particularly that last sentence, which transported me to similar places and brought tears very close.<br />One reason why it all works so perfectly is the feeling that it comes so genuinely from the heart.<br />Thanks as ever – it's stirred me into writing the current chapters more convincingly, if possible.<br />I'm grateful to you for sharing all this at such a difficult time.<br />With love, Miriam x<br /><br />PS And now to work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
