How wild for my writing to be recommended by one of the most talented essayists I know, and right up there on the list with dear Tara at Slowdown Farmstead, my goodness. I appreciate you.
Lady Agrarian is very apparently written "thoughtfully and not in haste.” Even your seasonal vignettes about current happenings seem to have the deliberate and settled qualities of a longer-form piece. You are a master of your craft: I say this not to flatter you, but because you continuously use it to magnify your Savior. Enjoy your hygge November novel endeavors!
Thank you, Raegan! I hardly feel like a master, more like a sheepish apprentice. But am honored to be engaged in the process, and what an encouragement your words are! I'm glad I found your writing too because it inspires me. You enjoy your November too.
You are succeeding in your aim of bringing us something beautiful. Your writing always gives off a sense of peace and thoughtfulness and richness, which is very lovely and restful compared to so much else of what is on the internet.
When I visit your space, I feel like I'm walking into a bookshop full of old treasures. Looking forward to catching up on some of your fiction.
I'm so grateful to hear that, and thank you for saying so! It is definitely a countercultural practice to be thoughtful and restful, and I find it can be hard work to hold back not-yet mature ideas. But this is what I admire so much about a lot of my favorite current writers and I hope to cultivate a more "present" writing style while still putting in the thought.
Emma, what you do here has significance. I feel as you do about beauty, and that offering respite with words is valuable and necessary work. I'm so glad I found your newsletter, and wish you delight in your novella writing.
