I felt this inside my soul. Purpose and structure and projects have a shelf life but the person who creates those things is fluid and constant. It’s so so hard to reconcile that with the need to grow beyond a beginning, especially when the tool remains the same. Writing. Writing is the constant. The “for what, to who, when, about what and how” will always, should always, change, just like you do. I love when these pop up and in many ways I love them more now they are not following any kind of rule, be that subject, rate, structure. You’re the constant that flows through the newsletter and I think it’s you we’re all still here for, in whatever shape you choose to share yourself.

Hi Anna - writing doesn't always has to have a purpose unless you're being paid to churn out the words. It can be a lot of fun to share your thoughts with total strangers and see where it lands. I've just read your piece (I'm in Western Australia) and you've made me pause for a moment to reflect on my own life. Look forward to reading your next installment - Rhu
