Interesting how eclectic your I Remembers are, compared to some of the others – is that because you didn’t set yourself a starting point, or because you naturally skip between thoughts? Although looking at them again, there’s a strong family theme. I love the linking of first date, hugging your dad on your wedding day, and finding the house. And…[Read more]

I love your gorgeousness!! And *stands up* I am Raine and I too am an overwriter! 😀
There are so many images you’ve got there that are stunning & the whole is profoundly evocative. I particularly like the ‘She needed another word for this sea, because sparkle or glitter or shimmer were not savage enough. They did not hurt.’ Because that is such…[Read more]

Absolutely fabulous! And intense. An assault on the senses. My kind of gorgeous, too 🙂

And your ‘I Remember…’ made me remember the obstacle course of childhood.

The idea of this thread was also to have conversations about the readings/unit, so go ahead and post reflections here.

My dreams have been a lot worse over the last few nights. Think if I wrote THEM down, I’d be strapped to a psychiatrist’s chair… 😉 Thanks, Kaz and Hil x

When I’ve done courses in the past on other things as well as writing, we’ve often either kept a diary or shared ‘reflections’ on each section and what we thought we learned from it. I’ve found this very helpful both to clarify my own thoughts and to see what others gained. Plus it was interesting to see what different things people got from the…[Read more]
