I keep telling myself not to do these gushing joy posts but here goes - my parents were the first university graduates in their families (my mother at the age of 60!) and I will be the first person in my family to have a postgraduate degree. 🎆🎉🎆🎉🎆

Watched The Quiet Girl for first time. I AM FOREVER RUINED. It SHATTERED ME. MY HEART IS BROKEN. All the Oscars.

Borges: each time we repeat a line by Dante or Shakespeare we are, in some way, that instant when Dante or Shakespeare created that line.

People should not be embarrassed about not having read certain books. Read what you like, when it suits you. I think all this feeds into literary snobbery and intimidates people. I worry about people thinking they need to read certain authors or books before they can write.

My Tyrone Guthrie residency is coming soon and I know it is a work trip but I have not had a holiday in nearly fifteen years so I am very much hoping for some peace and beautiful walks 🍃🍃🍃

The Wild Iris is so important to me. Brilliant, achingly beautiful and devastating collection. Horrendously sad. “I speak because I am shattered.”

I don’t care how idiotic this is. I am less than a year away from the DREAM (note I may be particularly *excited* about having access to the online library)

Re submissions, sometimes the relief of getting a rejection after a long wait (any response, PLEASE any response) is so great it feels like you’ve won something huge. Here for those times.
