Hello out there (or in there),
I hope that wherever you are, all is as well as possible with you and your families.
My apologies for the long silence from The Phraser. My excuse is that I’m trying to write a novel. When I set off with this grand, novel-writing plan, I did not realise how difficult it would be. There has been some progress, but I’m still not sure in which direction.
Meanwhile, I’ve been missing the blog, so I thought I’d try to get a few posts up before the end of the year. For the first one, I’ve set myself a creative writing challenge: to describe 2020 with just the senses … sight, taste, smell, sound, touch. After a lot of sitting with my eyes closed, and trying not to get carried away, here is the result.
Keep trying. You are a great writer full of vivid descriptions and touching ways of seeing the world. Novels are hard to write. Let yourself enjoy the process. Wishing you a prosperous New Year.

Hello Antoinette – somehow this message slipped under the arrival of the New Year. Thank you! And very best wishes to you for the year ahead. I shall keep trying. Am in the process of attemtping to record a story to put up in sections as audio and as a blog post. Hope to have it up within the next few days. Just have to gather my confidence and get it done!
