@ratika Could depend on how you write them. I'm writing nearly only non-fiction. #Essays or #features can be a medium of telling stories, of getting a 'painting' of your ideas. There's 'narrative non-fiction', often used e.g. in #natureWriting. A great writer like Robert McFarlane writes fascinating stuff about the Underworlds or rivers, you can't stop reading, it's positive. But you become aware of the problems and people trying to find solutions. It's the storytelling that helps.

There was a nature writing workshop today at the library and I went along. It was great – run by a local poet and afterwards, I bought his book as I'd had to miss his launch a few weeks ago.
We talked about verse, meter and the importance of punctuation (or a lack of it) in poetry. Then we had some writing time and I managed to get some words down. It was a good feeling.
I really want to prioritise creative practice but also, that well feels so shallow at the moment – even reading! Reading is hard work, let alone the kind of reading I want to do to. I need an energy for this that I somehow just do not have right now...
It leaves me feeling very thick in the head – I don't mean in a derogatory, insulting sense, I just mean my head feels thick, wooden, full of density and no space. And definitely not the right words, even if I can think of any words at all

Dear chum from bookshop visited me last night and brought hugs, and more hospital reading. Scottish scribe Cal Flyn's upcoming The Savage Landscape (pub May, HarperCollins).
Engrossing. Explores changing human attitudes to wilderness across history & cultures, also exploring what we mean by wilderness.
Will be recommending to my Rob MacFarlane readers when back at the bookshop.

“The richness of Donnchadh Bàn’s language becomes a metaphor for the richness of nature... The poem is a song & the music itself becomes a metaphor for the co-existence of different forms of life”

“The more time you spend here in the Highlands, the more you recognise and realise and come to feel yourself part of the different layers of the land [… people] see it as wild and untameable, when in actual fact it is very much a human landscape”

Loch A’an, Loch A’an, hoo deep ye lie!
Tell nane yer depth and nane shall I.
Bricht though yer deepmaist pit may be,
Ye’ll haunt me till the day I dee.
Bricht, an’ bricht, an’ bricht as air,
Ye’ll haunt me noo for evermair.—Nan Shepherd, “Loch Avon”
