I’ve started this blog as a community for creative writers who are interested in the relationship between writing, self and place. There are some physical, geographical places in the world that are very special to me, as a person and a writer, and I’m keen to find out about the relationships other writers have with places – and how they explore, expand, share, and benefit from those relationships through writing. Sounds a bit esoteric? Let’s see how it goes.

This sounds like a excellent idea, Andrea. I’m here through Helena Pastor, each with a shared Ditch ancestry. A sense of place features heavily in my writing. to me it’s as fundamental as identity. In fact, I suspect it contributes to it. I’m pleased to meet you here.
