Au Naturelle
26 April 2021
The Romantic writers tended to glorify nature, often waxing lyrically about how inspiring nature was to them. The environment in sympathy with characters, setting as character, all those sorts of things. Now I don’t think anyone thus far mistook me for a romantic – but I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that nature does help the ole writin’ cogs along. I love living in a place with safe, clean, beautiful public spaces that I can enjoy – and people that are not pushy, aggressive, or buckling under the weight of the chips on their shoulders. Pretty flowers, open green fields… Love it. #ThingsThatInspireMe #WorkSpaces
