What a lovely article Susannah. Yep, I get grouchy after a week or so - partly because I lose my thread of thought and have to do lots of reading to get back into the right space, and that feels like wasted time. But mainly because it's the thing that I can do in the house, even with the family around, that's just for me. My family know to leave me be for a few hours, and I don't get that peace if I'm cooking, reading, watching a movie... it's become my thing, and I love that. Glad to hear the ocean is giving you lots of inspiration and looking forward to hearing what your next novel will be about. :)
I loved reading this, Emer. So many people dream to carve out that space for themselves, so I am sure what you wrote will be inspirational to others. It is 'your thing', I just love that!
