you are amazing, as i continue to point out. I love that you are from perth and you swim at cottesloe, thats one of my favourite beaches. Mostly because it was always so close. Living in melbourne now i have really started appreciating perth’s accessibility and the close by beaches which are never as crowded as they could be, another bonus. anyway your writing makes me smile, because in many ways i can relate so easily to what you say and your beautiful imagery and descriptions are the exact way I dream of explaining my thoughts. Reading your blog offers a great refreshing look at things. I really cannot thankyou enough, your great sophie!
I always find it enlightening to have someone I know and whose voice and personality I’m used to taking in, in first person, direct conversastion and experience, presented to me from another’s perspective. (If that makes any of the slightest sense!) This article though, is certainly a piece, that even if I didn’t have the good fortune of knowing you, I would have been delighted reading about you anyway, as I find you come across as a magnificent soul. And of course, Danny’s whimsical illustration made it all the more magical.
Anyway, must dash, but oh am sporadically working on two pieces for Paper Castle Press, as time allows, 50/50 like a coin toss on which one I’ll actually finish penning first, but hopefully soon. And I recieved your lovely email just today; will reply whenever this dionasuar-aged computer (mine had a virus and is still being fixed, so I’ve been attempting to bring the old family computer back to life…and it’s not going particularly well) finds it in itself to load my email’s inbox.
(Wow, I don’t know how I always do that, write just a minor paragraph, hover my mouse over “sumbit” then think to add a bit more, and end up adding a whole other bulging paragraph. Happens an awful lot, really).
Anyway, hope life is lovely in Perth, and that you can get that visa soon and come over to New York!
