February, a list:
Started with a new red Moleskine journal, blanko.
The first proof of spring are blooming. Lots of going on walks, even runs.
treated myself to little treats (a new top, new pyjama set, new tiny bag, new mug and plate for 50% off), but I’ve been reading on my kindle since I gave myself a book buying ban… I do need to spend more time on reading rather than buying books.
Planning trips around the country in the spring and the summer…
Being told that I influenced someone to buy a book I liked because they had liked my previous recommendation was the most unexpected but amazing compliment I’ve gotten recently.
Writing, the process:
Finished writing outlines and filling loopholes.
Now onto the drafting and keeping up with tracking progress.
I try not to go back and edit but whenever I re-read to get back into where I last left off, I keep tweaking things and getting held up.
Playlists for each book help get me into the right headspace, even when my head is somewhere completely different.
Sourcing images for a book cover for my new poetry collection is even more fun when I can discuss it with a dear friend.
Tea and a candle on evenings.
Getting out of the house in the morning to write.
Consumed, whole:
Suki Waterhouse’s discography
One Day (2024)
My new playlist with songs from films and series I liked, that makes me feel like I’m living a movie
White Nights
“It was a wonderful night, such a night as is only possible when we are young.”
“My God, a moment of bliss. Why, isn't that enough for a whole lifetime?”
“I don’t know how to be silent when my heart is speaking.”
“I like revisiting, at certain times, spots where I was once happy; I like to shape the present in the image of the irretrievable past.”
– Fyodor Dostoevsky, White Nights
Yes, I deserve a spring – I owe nobody nothing.
– Virginia Woolf, from a diary entry written c. March 1940 featured in The Diary of Virginia Woolf: vol. V 1936-1941
For me you were the measure of all things.
– Franz Kafka, letter to his father
