Beetles, Writing Session, Tea With Alice Salon 32

Added 2021-08-02 07:29:25 +0000 UTC

Look at this remarkably shiny beetle! There’s a tree near my house that’s absolutely coated in them, and when I go for my walk, I see people walk past it on the footpath. Many of them are so close they brush the leaves. These shiny beetles cling calmly on. None of the people seem to notice the beetle-tree.

Who has shared / is sharing a house during lockdown? With family or friends or aquaintance style housemates? It’s such an interesting and difficult balance of moving around in a self-contained bubble, so as not to chafe one another, and making an effort to appreciate one another for their unique and surprising qualities.

I’ll also be doing two Writing Rooms this week, one on Thursday morning (U.K. weds evening) and one on Friday afternoon (US Thursday Evening) Sydney time. Let me know via DM if you’d like to join in on that and I’ll send you the link. It’s very low key - just basically chilling out in the ‘same’ space, maybe a few randomly generated prompts for people who are at a loose end. I’ll take the first five for each - I’d like it to stay small so it stays human and doesn’t become a gig/performance. When lockdown ends, I’ll do them in real life too.
