The anguish of being a writer! It’s as though our words are held in reserve for our writing and it’s hard to access them for anything else.

That’s so much what I was trying to convey ... those ships who pass in the night. Sliding doors. That sort of thing. Thank you for reading

I love the premise of ‘missed moments’, the sliding door moments when all possibilities sit tantalisingly in reach … thanks so much for reading (and sharing).

I do too, and those moments feel almost more exquisite for being unrealized. What if!
