I had conflicts and had to miss the Lark & Owl session the other day, but I hope to make it to one in the future! I might bring a friend. "Exerting oneself" is perfect advice to regain sanity. A counselor friend says, "Depression in an active mind in an inactive body." I often think of his words when I get out for a walk, or seek to tidy a corner. This damp, chilly weather makes walks less appealing, so there's more tidying to be done!

I’ve never been able to get these WORDS out of my mind: “The horror. The horror.”

Thanks for this - so true. "I have come away from these initial meetings feeling less crazy and more inspired to keep up my own writing practice" - amen to that!

Being a person who works from home I can relate to this. It is so good to join with like-minded individuals at Lark and Owl to work on writing. The exertion of writing certainly helps to keep me somewhat sane. Thanks for doing these little workshops.
